The third-party Prerender.io service for advanced prerendering is now available as an extension for all Netlify customers.
Previously, you needed a Netlify Pro plan or higher to set up Prerender.io with Netlify’s legacy in-app prerendering feature.
Prerender.io offers advanced configuration options and the Prerender.io dashboard. Learn more about the Prerender.io extension from the extension details page.
If you previously set up Prerender.io using Netlify’s legacy in-app prerendering feature, you need to update your configuration to continue using it this year. Learn more about your next steps and how to check if you need to update your configuration.
To check if your project still needs prerendering, see our prerendering needs checker documentation.
Configuration updates required for existing users
If you have a Netlify Pro plan and you set up the Prerender.io service with Netlify’s legacy prerendering feature (most likely before January 6, 2026), you’ll need to update your configuration to continue using it this year.
To check if your project is using Netlify’s legacy in-app prerendering feature, go to Project configuration > Build & deploy > Post processing > Prerendering from your Netlify project dashboard to see if the legacy prerendering feature is enabled.
Updates are required because Prerender.io no longer relies on Netlify’s legacy in-app prerendering feature, which is being deprecated and will stop working later this year.
Follow our migration steps to update your configuration before these key dates:
| Date | Impacted plans |
|---|---|
| February 17, 2026 | The feature will be disabled for customers on Personal or Pro plans (legacy or credit-based) |
| March 17, 2026 | The feature will be disabled for Enterprise and all other specialized plans. |
Learn more about this migration process in this migration post.
