What Gets Pre-rendered for Search Engines
When a bot visits your site through Hado SEO, we render and serve:Smart Caching & Automatic Page Refresh
Pre-rendered pages are cached at our global edge network for fast delivery. Hado SEO automatically monitors your sitemap and intelligently decides what to render:Smart Refresh Cycle
Each cycle runs a smart diff against your sitemap to minimize unnecessary work:
Pages with a higher
priority value in your sitemap are refreshed more frequently during the stale rotation, so your most important pages stay freshest.
Full Manual Refresh
You can trigger a full manual recrawl once per month from Domain Settings in your dashboard. This is designed for:- Full site redesigns
- Major content or layout updates
- Significant structural changes
Bulk Refresh
Need to refresh specific pages without a full recrawl? Use Bulk Refresh from your dashboard to re-render up to 100 pages at a time. This is ideal for:- Updating a batch of product pages after a price change
- Refreshing blog posts after edits
- Re-rendering key landing pages after A/B test changes
