When prerendering, you can hint to Nitro to prerender additional paths, even if their URLs do not show up in the HTML of the generated page.

::callout
`prerenderRoutes` can only be called within the [Nuxt context](/docs/guide/going-further/nuxt-app#the-nuxt-context).
::

```js
const route = useRoute()

prerenderRoutes('/')
prerenderRoutes(['/', '/about'])
```

::callout
In the browser, or if called outside prerendering, `prerenderRoutes` will have no effect.
