Setup in 4 Steps

Setting up PreRender24 for your domain is this easy

1

Add Your Domain

Enter your domain and origin URL (your current server) in the dashboard. PreRender24 automatically creates a Cloudflare zone for your domain.

2

Change Nameservers

Enter the displayed nameservers at your domain registrar. Example: On IONOS, find this under Domains & SSL > Nameservers. The nameservers are e.g. ignacio.ns.cloudflare.com and fish.ns.cloudflare.com. This works with all common hosting providers – IONOS, Strato, Hetzner, GoDaddy, Namecheap and many more.

Dashboard Active

Your dashboard shows the SEO score, PreRender24 status and the origin URL. Everything is fully set up and active.

Crawlers Are Detected

PreRender24 automatically detects all crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, firecrawl etc.) and serves them optimized HTML. In the crawl log you can see every bot access in real time.
