Nginx Integration Guide

This guide explains how to integrate Index Render into your Nginx webserver for Single Page Applications (SPA), PHP applications, and Reverse Proxies.

Important: Ensure you have access to your Nginx configuration file before proceeding.

Nginx Use Cases

  • Single Page Application
  • PHP Application
  • Reverse Proxy
Tips for Success: • Always back up your Nginx config before changes.
• Test configuration after every update to avoid downtime.

Single Page Application

Add a /index-renderio location block and replace YOUR_TOKEN with your Index Render token.

if ($index-render = 1) {
    rewrite (.*) /index-renderio last;
}

PHP Application

location / {
    if ($index-render = 1) {
        rewrite (.*) /index-renderio last;
    }
    rewrite (.*) /index.php$1 last;
}
if ($index-render = 1) {
    rewrite (.*) /index-renderio last;
}

Reverse Proxy

Add the /index-renderio location block and forward requests to Index Render service. 

if ($index-render = 1) {
    rewrite (.*) /index-renderio last;
}

Index Render Token Location

You can find your token under:
Security & Access → Index Render Token

Verify Your Installation

curl -A "googlebot" https://yourdomain.com

If Index Render headers are missing, the integration is not working correctly.

Getting an Error?

If you see "Index Render Integration Not Detected", refer to the troubleshooting documentation.
