How to improve crawl speed and search visibility
I wanted to share something that made a real difference for my blogs and affiliate sites. I was frustrated that Google and social platforms weren’t picking up all my content - some posts wouldn’t index properly, and link previews on Facebook looked weird. Then I tried
Prerender, and it helped me a lot.
Basically, it generates static HTML snapshots of pages, so when bots or social crawlers visit, they get a fully rendered version instantly. I hooked up the Prerender middleware, pointed it at my sitemap, and let it cache each URL. After that, Googlebot started fetching pages in under 50 ms, which cleaned up crawl errors and boosted my Core Web Vitals scores. On social media, previews began showing the correct titles, images, and descriptions instead of empty placeholders.
Before, some of my posts took 5 seconds to load for crawlers. Once cached, that dropped to about 0.06 seconds - a huuuge speed-up that helped with both SEO and engagement. Seriously, if you’re having indexing or preview issues, definitely give it a go.
