# How to prevent update on page load Add the `data-vue-meta-server-rendered` attribute to the `` tag on the server-side: ```html ... ``` `vue-meta` will check for this attribute whenever it attempts to update the DOM - if it exists, `vue-meta` will just remove it and perform no updates. If it does not exist, `vue-meta` will perform updates as usual. While this may seem verbose, it _is_ intentional. Having `vue-meta` handle this for you automatically would limit interoperability with other server-side programming languages. If you use PHP to power your server, for example, you might also have metadata handled on the server already and want to prevent this extraneous update.
