How to test your site after you have successfully validated your Prerender integration

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.
