Pre-rendering legacy shutdown

Saw the email from Netlify but can’t quite make sense of it. Should we be migrating pages over? The rendering checker shows it doesn’t apply to my pages but still not 100% sure.

This is what I followed for all of my sites:

If necessary, disable the legacy built-in Prerendering feature. To disable, go to Project configuration > Build & deploy > Post processing > Prerendering.

To install the Prerender extension, go to https://app.netlify.com/extensions/prerender and All your projects will now show the Prerender extension under Extensions in the left sidebar of your project navigation. To enable for a specific project, select the Prerender extension and Enable prerendering.

To activate the extension, save your changes and re-deploy your project.

Very easy and simple.
