Now I'm looking for alternative. We will probably build it ourselves. Pros Was nice and good value for money before they delete the free trial and multiply by 3.5 what we were paying Cons Price augmentation (x3.5 !!!) with one month notice and only 3 month with -25% to smooth it up Bugs : they do render empty pages instead of just detecting it and they bill you for rendering empty pages. Switched from [Botkube](https://www.capterra.com/p/10003953/Botkube/) Price surge x3.5 ! with one month notice... we are switching to an ssr homemade tool.

Web Developer Industrial Automation ### "Excellent service with all features available" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 24, 2022 Provide accurate and readable SEO content to crawling bots with great response time.

AU Anonymous User Team Lead SEO Program Development ### "Happy to misused Prerender" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 24, 2022 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.

Really I do. Why is this not on by default everywhere. Pros If you are running a highly dynamic, client rendered, JavaScript heavy website/WebApp/platform, then you need this. It gives Google something it understands and is able to index without you needing to pray. Cons I’d love it to update more often for less money but the value I get is really excellent already.

Client requirement for SEO and social media sharing came in just before production deployment. We deployed Prerender and saved loads of time on modifying the code and setup for SSR. Pros Takes out complexity of implementing server side rendering. Cons Nothing at the moment. The use case and deployment was straightforward.

Support is good and mostly responsive. Documentation is a bit lacking however. 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.

AU Anonymous User Director, Internet Strategy Publishing ### "Prerender solves common SPA problem" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 14, 2022 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. 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.
