Prerendered product pages
Prerendered product pages are built and ready before a shopper visits them, so your store delivers product information instantly without waiting for JavaScript to run.
What you need to do
Section titled “What you need to do”Manage your products in Adobe Commerce as usual. The prerender system detects your changes automatically and updates product pages in the background. Your development team sets it up once, and after that it runs without any changes to your workflow.
Why it matters for your store
Section titled “Why it matters for your store”Prerendered pages improve your store’s performance and visibility.
- Better search rankings: Search engines can index your product information without running JavaScript, so your products appear in search results faster and help shoppers find your store.
- Faster page loads: Pages can load in under one second, which can improve customer retention, product views, conversion rates, and mobile experience.
- AI and social media ready: Product links on social media display your images, descriptions, and pricing automatically. AI shopping assistants can understand and recommend your products.
How quickly changes appear
Section titled “How quickly changes appear”How quickly a change appears on your storefront depends on whether the product already exists or is new. Changes to existing products are visible within a few minutes after the change appears in your catalog. New products can take about an hour to appear.
Product lifecycle
Section titled “Product lifecycle”Previewing draft products
Section titled “Previewing draft products”The prerender system publishes every product your Catalog ServiceAdobe's fast, read-only GraphQL API for product data. Drop-ins call it instead of core Commerce GraphQL for product pages, search results, and category listings — up to ten times faster. returns without filtering by product status, visibility, or stock level. Whether a draft or inactive product appears depends on your catalog settings in Adobe Commerce. If a product is not active or visible there, Catalog Service won’t return it, and it won’t be prerendered.
You can preview the product page template in your authoring environment to review the layout and content before any products go live. Your developer configures a placeholder SKU so the template shows realistic product data during preview.
Scheduling product launches
Section titled “Scheduling product launches”Products appear on your storefront only after they are activated in Adobe Commerce. If you schedule a product to activate on a future date, the product page goes live on your storefront within about an hour after that date. You don’t need to take any additional steps.
Removing offline products
Section titled “Removing offline products”When a product’s offline date passes or it is disabled in Adobe Commerce, the system removes it from your published storefront within about an hour. You don’t need to unpublish it manually.
