First things first: we recommend using Chrome.

  1. Open your desired URL

  2. Open Dev tools (CTRL+Shift+J on Windows , Option + ⌘ + J on Mac)

  3. Run command (Control + Shift + P on Windows, Command + Shift + P on Mac) - Show Network Conditions

  4. After you have Network Conditions “enabled,” navigate to it, look for “User Agent,” and de-select “Use browser default”.

  5. Select Googlebot from the dropdown list (except if you have modified the pre-defined allow list in your Prerender config, in that case, use a different bot that is allowed in your configuration)

  6. Reload your site

  7. Switch to the Network tab and look for the very first connections header :

If the response contains “x-prerender-requestid” then you can conclude that Prerender.io is working on your site and serving the request.
