@@ -100,6 +100,7 @@ Nuxt 3 includes route rules and hybrid rendering support. Using route rules you
 - `swr` - Add cache headers to the server response and cache it in the server or reverse proxy for a configurable TTL. The `node-server` preset of Nitro is able to cache the full response. For Netlify and Vercel, the response is also added to the CDN layer.
 - `static` - The behavior is the same as `swr` except that there is no TTL; the response is cached until the next deployment. On Netlify and Vercel, it enables full incremental static generation.
 - `prerender` - Prerenders routes at build time and includes them in your build as static assets
+- `experimentalNoScripts` - Disables rendering of Nuxt scripts and JS resource hints for sections of your site.
 
 **Examples:**
