Public status pages

Creating a public status page

Create a WebCheck status page, choose its public components and publish a clear view of service health.

A WebCheck public status page communicates selected service health to visitors without exposing the private monitoring dashboard. It combines components you choose with the latest relevant monitoring state and incident history.

Create the page

Open the site detail page, expand Public status pages and create a page with a name and title. Add an introductory message when visitors need context, then select the monitored components that should appear publicly.

Choose meaningful components

Use components that match how customers understand the service, such as Website, API, Checkout or Authentication. Avoid exposing internal target names or technical checks that would confuse visitors.

Use maintenance mode honestly

When planned work is taking place, use the page maintenance controls and provide a clear message. Do not represent an unverified or manually asserted state as proof that every service is healthy.

Publish and review

Enable the page, open its public URL in a separate browser session and review the displayed components, current state, incident history, branding and notes. Update the page when the public service structure changes.
