This allows search engines to crawl and index applications as if they were static HTML, even if they are not, or their site returns different content for search engine crawlers than for users. Prerender also supports automatic detection of AJAX pages, which means that if users have regular pages that just happen to require JavaScript during the loading process, they will be crawled by search engines as well. ## Prerender User Interface ## Popular Prerender Alternatives Main Product Prerender 4.7 [(72)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/website-optimization/prerender-profile/#reviews) Ratings Breakdown - 4.60Ease of use - 4.57Value for money - 4.52Customer support - 4.51Functionality Pricing Starting at $49.00 per month Alternative Product [Semrush](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/semrush-profile/) 4.6 [(2320)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/semrush-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.32Ease of use - 4.24Value for money - 4.38Customer support - 4.59Functionality Pricing Starting at $139.95 per month Alternative Product [Lucky Orange](https://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/lucky-orange-profile/) 4.7 [(262)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/lucky-orange-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.63Ease of use - 4.58Value for money - 4.69Customer support - 4.59Functionality Pricing Starting at $39.00 per month Alternative Product [Divi](https://www.softwareadvice.com/website-optimization/divi-profile/) 4.8 [(1156)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/website-optimization/divi-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.59Ease of use - 4.84Value for money - 4.87Customer support - 4.68Functionality Pricing Starting at $89.00 per year Alternative Product [Cloudflare](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cybersecurity/cloudflare-profile/) 4.7 [(520)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cybersecurity/cloudflare-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.62Ease of use - 4.56Value for money - 4.28Customer support - 4.70Functionality Pricing Starting at $20.00 per month Alternative Product [Screpy](https://www.softwareadvice.com/website-optimization/screpy-profile/) 4.8 [(236)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/website-optimization/screpy-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.81Ease of use - 4.85Value for money - 4.69Customer support - 4.64Functionality Pricing Starting at $5.00 per month ## Prerender Pricing and Plans Starting price: $49.00 per month Free Trial Free Version Starter $49.00 usage based, per month No plan information available Growth $149.00 No plan information available Pro $349.00 No plan information available Enterprise Plus Pricing available upon request No plan information available ## Prerender Features - Popular features found in Website Optimization Tools Competitive Analysis Content Management Keyword Research Tools Link Management Performance Metrics Problem Area Alerts Website Analytics - More features of Prerender Activity Dashboard API Data Import/Export Real-Time Data Reporting & Statistics SEO Management ## Prerender User Reviews Overall Rating 4.7 Ratings Breakdown 5 75% 4 22% 3 1% 2 0% 1 1% Secondary Ratings Ease of Use 4.6 Value for money 4.6 Customer support 4.5 Functionality 4.5 Have you used Prerender and would like to share your experience with others? Maciej C. Verified reviewer Computer Software 2-10 employees Used daily for less than 12 months Reviewed January 2022 Prerender solved problems we had 5 Very good Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: We found out about Prerender trying to solve the SEO issues with JavaScript websites. It works well and brings the value we need. Cons: No way to delete all cached websites from the dashboard. Vendor Response Hi Maciej, thank you for your great review! I'd like to add that the feature to delete all cached pages is in the pipeline! Replied March 2022 Read More VR Verified Reviewer Computer Software 501-1000 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Reviewed November 2021 A simple service for a simple task done right 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: Its easy to install, has support for most mayor libraries out there, has an API and is fully managed. It was easy to buy and they upgraded the control panel a few months later, which was nice and showed that there is still more work to be done. Its nice to see they are still working on this on a server-side-rendering age. The Admin panel is really nice and easy to use. Currently using it to serve almost 3k pages. Cons: Sometimes its hard to tweak it so it works on all pages. Im getting some blank pages that I cannot fix. I suspect its my code, as you need to tell it to save the snapshot at the right time. I guess the problem is in making it retry in case there is a timeout, so im always checking if I can improve on that side. Reasons for choosing Prerender Easy of use, huge community and because its simple, they use a community package installed on their servers and correctly configured. Reasons for switching to Prerender Too many problems with performance, you need fast hw to run it and get some decent cache times Vendor Response Hello, thank you for your review! Please reach out to us so we can help overcome that problem! Replied December 2021 Read More DC Dustin C. Verified reviewer Internet 2-10 employees Used monthly for more than 2 years Reviewed December 2021 Easy quick-start page caching for Single Page Applications 3 The platform itself is really simple. Not elegant. But simple. A bit too simple. A bit more control from within their dashboard would have bene nice. Also, the ability to select and delete more than 1 page of cached pages at a time would be really helpful. Our initial implementation cached all pages, including individual user-account pages. So the pages cached grew tremendously and needlessly. A filter on their end to filter out all pages behind a subdirectory would have been easy, but we ended up having to handle this on our end using our own developer. In the end, Prerender.io is a quick solution, but not an optimal one. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 3 Value for money 2 Functionality Pros: Prerender.io was a quick solution for when Bing.com was unable to index Single Page Applications. As a small website, Prerender.io was a reasonable solution. Cons: As our website evolved, traffic grew, and technology inevitably changed, the value proposition of Prerender.io became obsolete for us since we could build an in-house solution for much less than the cost paid to Prerender.io, as well as target the page caching much more efficiently. Reasons for choosing Prerender Availability and ease of use. Vendor Response Hello Dustin, thank you for your review and for your great insight! Replied December 2021 Read More VR Verified Reviewer Publishing 51-200 employees Used weekly for less than 12 months Reviewed January 2022 Prerender solves common SPA problem 5 Worked exactly as advertised, with minimal technical lift. Did exactly what it said it would do. Overall was very happy with the product from a technical perspective. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Value for money 3 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: We built and launched a SPA as part of our website, only to discover that Facebook, Google, and other crawlers weren't able to index our content as they where when it was all server-side. Prerender was a one-stop fix for the situation. We signed up, put in a few URLs, and magic presto, problem fixed. Bots got the Prerender-ized versions of the pages, served up as HTML. But our actual users got the SPA version, with the speed and power that entailed. Very simple, very easy. Cons: Pretty much everything worked as advertised - the only issue was with the pricing. We felt like the free tier didn't give us very much bang, but the next tier up felt like more money than we wanted to spend. We ended up writing a LOT of custom code for our CDN front end to handle this, but that was a real pain in the neck. If there had been a better pricing option we'd still be using Prerender. Reasons for choosing Prerender We didn't want to have to put the effort into doing the whole custom code thing -- we were on a tight deadline and needed something we could implement quickly. As I recall we were able to implement the whole Prerender system within about 20 minutes. Vendor Response Hi, thank you for your great review! Replied March 2022 Read More VR Verified Reviewer Program Development 51-200 employees Used daily for less than 6 months Reviewed January 2022 Happy to misused Prerender 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: To be honest, my idea to use Prerender was completely other, than Prerender expects. I was misusing Prerender just a third-party deep and warm cache. The case I used Prerender was the following: - my client runs a website, based on very old, outdated Perl CMS (not Javascript - no React/Vue or the like), - there are no available IT resources to optimize website performance, - I'm not allowed too optimize performance by myself. The performance bottleneck was a slow website generation, inefficient templates, inefficient database queries. My idea was to use a third party service, which maintains a cache and keeps it warm. Misusing Prerender pushed Lighthouse metrics from around 40 to higher then 90, and stabilized the passing of the Core Web Vitals Assessment. The bottomline: I reached my goal and happy about this. Further I would recommend to any website owner who struggles with performance to use Prerender as cache - it worth to try anyway. Cons: I personally experienced no cons - maybe because of my use case has a limited application. Vendor Response Hi, thank you for your great review! Replied March 2022 Read More VR Verified Reviewer Information Technology and Services 2-10 employees Used daily for less than 12 months Reviewed January 2022 Great companion solution for React and other SPA technologies 5 Generally satisfied with the service provided and it helps to solve some challenge we have. Support is good and mostly responsive. Documentation is a bit lacking however. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: Easy to use and deploy, fills a gap needed for front-end technologies such as React when it comes to SEO, and rendering speed. Cons: Control and management of cached pages can be a bit lacking. Vendor Response Hi, thank you for your great review! Replied March 2022 Read More VR Verified Reviewer Computer Software 11-50 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Reviewed November 2021 Prerender 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: I use their docker image and it’s super easy to use. I think the whole idea of pre-rendering SPAs instead of SSR is very interesting. Cons: At first it was a bit hard to configure. Documentation could be better, but I used the documentation a long while ago. Vendor Response Hi, thank you for your review! We have since improved our documentation and we will keep doing it in an ongoing effort. Replied November 2021 Read More William L.
