How do I add or remove a domain in Prerender?
Use Domain Manager to connect new domains, monitor cached URL counts per domain, and remove domains you no longer need.
TL;DR
Domain Manager in your Prerender dashboard gives you a central view of all connected domains, including cached URL counts and integration status. To add a domain, click Add Domain, enter your URL, and Prerender verifies the integration automatically. To remove a domain, click the trash can icon — this permanently deletes the domain and all its cached URLs from your account.
Domain Manager is where you monitor which domains Prerender is actively caching and how many URLs each domain has cached. Without cached pages, AI crawlers and search engines may miss or misread your content — Domain Manager lets you see what's covered and flags integration issues before they affect your AI & search visibility.
ℹ️ Cached URL counts and metrics sync once every 24 hours. If a domain shows no cached URLs and has had no activity for more than 48 hours, it's safe to remove.
What you'll see in Domain Manager
Each domain entry shows four columns:
- Domain URL — the root domain being tracked
- URLs — the number of individual URLs currently cached under that domain
- Integration status — whether the domain's integration is verified and active
- Created on — the date the domain was added to your account
ℹ️ Your URLs count and your monthly renders count will look very different — and that's expected. Most URLs have two cached versions: one for desktop and one for mobile. Depending on your cache freshness setting, URLs may also be recached multiple times per month. Expect your render count to be noticeably higher than your URL count.
Adding a domain
Step 1: Open Domain Manager in your Prerender dashboard
Log into dashboard.prerender.io and select Domain Manager from the left-hand navigation.
Step 2: Enter your domain URL
Click the Add Domain button above the table. Enter your domain URL — for example, https://example.com — in the input field, then click Add.

Step 3: Confirm the integration status is verified
Once added, Prerender checks the integration automatically. Look for Verified in the Integration status column before proceeding.
✅ Your domain is correctly connected when its integration status shows as Verified in Domain Manager.
ℹ️ If the status shows as unverified, Nexus, your AI integration assistant, can help you diagnose and fix the issue — open it from your Prerender dashboard. You can also follow the steps in How to verify if your integration works.
Removing a domain
⚠️ Removing a domain deletes it from your account and permanently removes all cached URLs associated with it. This action cannot be undone.
Step 1: Open Domain Manager in your Prerender dashboard
Log into dashboard.prerender.io and select Domain Manager from the left-hand navigation.
Step 2: Confirm you no longer need the domain cached
Before deleting, verify the domain is genuinely inactive — for example, it's a test environment, a decommissioned project, or it has shown no cached URLs for more than 48 hours.
Step 3: Delete the domain and confirm
Click the trash can icon in the Actions column next to the domain. In the confirmation modal, confirm your decision.

✅ The domain is removed when it no longer appears in your Domain Manager table.
ℹ️ If the domain had a large number of cached URLs, deletion may take several minutes to complete. The domain disappears from the list once the process finishes.
