Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 41 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
PreRender24 is a prerendering service for JavaScript single-page apps. It sits in front of a site on Cloudflare's edge network, spots search engine and AI crawlers by their user agent and serves them cached, fully rendered HTML, while human visitors go straight to the normal app. Plans are priced in euros by domains, pages and monthly pageviews.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about PreRender24, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for prerendering a JavaScript site for search and AI bots
PreRender24 sits in front of a JavaScript app on Cloudflare's edge and hands search and AI crawlers cached, rendered HTML while people get the normal site, from €9.99 a month. Setup moves your nameservers to Cloudflare, there's no free plan after the 14-day trial, and Starter refreshes its cache only once a week.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is €9.99 a month for 1 domain, 300 pages and 150,000 pageviews, inside this category's cheaper quarter of $13. Pro is €29.97 for 3 domains, and yearly billing saves 20%. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but every plan starts with a 14-day trial, and the listing doesn't say a card is needed. After it a paid plan is required, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. |
| Features | C | Edge detection of Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot and others, cached rendered HTML, scheduled refreshes, a crawl log, IndexNow and hreflang. It does prerendering fully, but that's a smaller job, and Starter refreshes only every 7 days. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. There's no code to add, but setup moves your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare, with PreRender24 creating the zone for you. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with an API, Cloudflare Workers, Lovable, IndexNow and PageSpeed Insights. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who PreRender24 is for
- Fits if your React, Vue or Lovable app looks empty to search crawlers
- Works for sites that want GPTBot and ClaudeBot to read their content
Who it is not for
- Watch out: setup moves your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as a paid one is needed after the 14-day trial
- Tight if your content changes often, as Starter re-renders every 7 days with 2 manual recrawls a month
- Pricey if you want daily cache refreshes, which need Agency at €199 a month
- Watch out: prices are in euros, and going past your pageviews brings alerts and a prompt to upgrade
Good to know
Good for
- Single-page apps built with React, Vue or Lovable that crawlers see as empty
- Sites that want AI crawlers such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot to read their content
- Agencies prerendering many client domains from one account
Worth knowing
- Setup moves the domain's nameservers to Cloudflare; PreRender24 creates the zone, so no Cloudflare account of your own is needed.
- There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial a paid subscription is required, and prices are in euros.
- Starter refreshes its cache only every 7 days with 2 manual recrawls a month; daily refresh needs Agency at €199 a month.
- Going past the monthly pageview limit does not stop the service, but brings alerts at 80% and 100% and a prompt to upgrade.

Keep it
Nothing PreRender24 does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.
It costs $134.34 a year.
What you could not
