How do I redirect my index file and have prerendering find all my content?

I want to redirect root / to /guide/getting-started, but when I do that, none of my prerendered pages are picked up.

Hi @jess. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To address your question about redirecting the index file while ensuring prerendering finds all your content, there are a few important points to consider: 1. Redirecting the root: You can set up a redirect for the root / to /guide/getting-started using the routeRules configuration in your nuxt.config.ts file:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    '/': { redirect: '/guide/getting-started' }
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    '/': { redirect: '/guide/getting-started' }
  }
})

Docs > Guide > Concepts > Rendering Modes > Hybrid Rendering (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/rendering#hybrid-rendering) 2. Prerendering: When you set up a redirect for the root, it can interfere with the default crawling behavior of the prerenderer. To ensure your content is still prerendered, you need to explicitly specify the routes to prerender. You can do this by adding the prerender option to your nitro configuration in nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      crawlLinks: true,
      routes: ['/guide/getting-started']
    }
  },
  routeRules: {
    '/': { redirect: '/guide/getting-started' },
    // Prerender all routes
    '/**': { prerender: true }
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      crawlLinks: true,
      routes: ['/guide/getting-started']
    }
  },
  routeRules: {
    '/': { redirect: '/guide/getting-started' },
    // Prerender all routes
    '/**': { prerender: true }
  }
})

Docs > Getting-started > Prerendering (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/prerendering) This configuration does the following: - Sets up the redirect from / to /guide/getting-started - Enables crawlLinks to discover linked pages - Specifies /guide/getting-started as a starting point for crawling - Sets a rule to prerender all routes By providing an explicit starting point for crawling, you ensure that the prerenderer can find and generate your content pages, even though the root is redirected. Remember that the prerendering process will follow links from the specified routes to discover and prerender other pages in your application. Make sure your pages are properly linked for the crawler to find them. If you're still experiencing issues with prerendering, you might need to adjust your configuration or explicitly list more routes in the routes array of the prerender option. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
