The idea for Renderproxy came to me while at work. Our website is completely written in React and was having some SEO issues. Single Page Apps have a hard time being crawled by search engine bots, and one way to fix this is to implement dynamic rendering (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/dynamic-ren...), such that bots get served up a pre-rendered version of your site. Google recommends this.

Looking online, I was hoping to find something like Renderproxy, but all the solutions I found required me to run my own server, or switch hosting providers. We ended up implementing our own custom solution.

With this solution, all you need to do is sign up for Renderproxy, and change your DNS settings.
