Seorend

Quick Start

Get bots seeing your real content in about 10 minutes. No changes to your application code are required for the recommended path.

  1. Create an account and an API key

    Section titled “Create an account and an API key”

    Sign up at app.seorend.com (free plan, no card required). In API Keys, click Create API Key and copy the secret — it is shown only once.

  2. Connect your site

    Section titled “Connect your site”

    Pick the path that matches your setup:

    • Your domain is on Cloudflare (recommended — no code changes): follow the Cloudflare Workers guide.

    • You prefer integrating in code: use the middleware guide for your platform — Next.js, SvelteKit, Node.js / Express, Vercel, Netlify, or NGINX.

  3. Verify it works

    Section titled “Verify it works”

    Request your site as a bot and as a regular user:

    Terminal window
    # As Googlebot — should return prerendered HTML with X-Seorend-* headers
    curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" \
      -sI https://your-site.com | grep -i x-seorend
    

    # As a regular browser — should NOT have X-Seorend-* headers
    curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) Chrome/120.0" \
      -sI https://your-site.com | grep -i x-seorend

    More checks (AI bots, social bots): Testing with curl.

  4. Analyze your sitemap

    Section titled “Analyze your sitemap”

    In the dashboard, open your site under Sites and click Analyze sitemap. Seorend counts your pages, shows how many your plan keeps permanently prerendered, and recommends a plan that covers the whole site.
