Select routes to prerender

Start with money pages like product, pricing, and lead capture routes.

Why this matters

SEO gains compound over time. Small improvements in crawlability, relevance, and authority often create outsized traffic and lead growth after a few publishing cycles.

Implementation checklist

  • Define the primary query intent before editing copy.
  • Align title, H1, intro, and meta description around one promise.
  • Add internal links from related high-authority pages.
  • Update schema and sitemap signals after content changes.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Optimizing for broad keywords without matching search intent.
  • Publishing updates without refreshing internal linking paths.
  • Using duplicate angles that compete with your own pages.

Keep bot and user parity

Ensure prerender output mirrors user content to avoid cloaking risk.
