ASP.NET MVC (C#) Integration Guide
This guide is for ASP.NET using JavaScript frameworks (e.g., Backbone, Angular, Ember) who want to improve SEO.
By integrating the Prerender.io middleware, it ensures search engines receive pre-rendered HTML, not JavaScript, for better indexing of dynamic content. The middleware communicates with the Prerender service to deliver SEO-friendly HTML without modifying the site’s structure.
Please note that this integration is community-maintained, not officially supported by Prerender. We only provide a guide for integrating Prerender with their service.
You'll find installation instructions in the README file here: https://github.com/greengerong/Prerender_asp_mvc
Verify Your Installation
After integration, it’s important to verify that everything is working as expected. We’ve provided an easy-to-follow guide to help you test your setup and confirm that Prerender is functioning properly.
Or, test with curl command with a custom User-Agent header:
curl -v -A googlebot www.yourpage.com/
Is the Prerender integration working on other pages?
Test if the Prerender integration works on the other pages based on this guide: Verify the integration
If you don't see the Prerender headers / IDs, then the Integration is not working, which might be why the other URL is not cached.
