Verification

Verify Installation

Read verification results, render logs, headers, and hostname mismatch warnings.

Verify Installation

Verify Installation sends a Googlebot-style request and checks whether it reaches Prerender Buddy.

Good result

Example
1Integration connected
2Prerender log: Detected
3Cache: Fresh render or Cached

For managed proxy setup, crawler responses often include:

Example
1x-prerender-cache
2x-prerender-cache-ttl
3x-prerender-time

Bad result

Example
1No Prerender Buddy request detected

This means the website responded, but the crawler request did not pass through Prerender Buddy.

Check:

  • the exact hostname
  • root vs www
  • DNS record
  • middleware deployment
  • server-side API key
  • whether you tested the final redirected hostname

Ready to check the setup?

After DNS or middleware is deployed, use Verify Installation from the site dashboard and check the logs tab for crawler requests.
