+### Renderer server configuration
+
+By default Prerender server start at first free port after 8000 as noted in [documentation](https://github.com/JoshTheDerf/prerenderer#server-options), but if your API require frontend to be run at specific port, you can pass server configuration as follows,

+```json
+{
+  "serverConfig": {
+    "port": 8100
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This might be helpful, for example, when API allows CORS headers only for requests from specific origins and not `http://localhost:8000` as in default configuration.
