What a Public Status Page Is
A public status page is a shareable web page where your customers can see, at a glance, whether your website and services are currently up — along with recent uptime for each one. Instead of guessing or emailing to ask, anyone with the link can open the page and see the current status for themselves.
Shareable Link
Your status page lives at a link you can share — put it in your footer, help center, or an incident email.
Overall Status
A clear banner shows whether everything is operational or some services are experiencing issues.
Per-Monitor Uptime
Each monitor you choose to show appears with its current status and recent uptime.
Why Businesses Use Public Status Pages
When something looks off, customers want a quick answer. A public status page gives them one — and takes pressure off you at the exact moment things are busiest.
Fewer “Is It Down?” Messages
Customers can check the page themselves instead of emailing or calling to ask whether your site is working, which cuts down on repetitive support requests during an incident.
Transparency Builds Trust
Openly showing status — including when something is not fully operational — signals that you are on top of it. Being upfront during an incident tends to build more trust than silence.
One Place to Point People
Instead of answering each person individually, you can point everyone to a single shareable page that reflects the current status of the services you choose to show.
How Public Status Pages Work in Site Detection
Turning on a status page is straightforward. You stay in control of which monitors appear and where the page lives.
Turn It On
On a Growth plan or higher, enable your status page and give it a title and a URL you can share.
Choose Which Monitors Show
Each monitor has a “Show on public status page” toggle, so you decide exactly which websites and services appear.
Share the Link
Publish the page and share the link with customers. Higher plans can host it on your own custom domain.
A status page pairs naturally with the monitoring behind it — see our website monitoring service and website uptime monitoring pages for how the checks work.
Plan Availability
Public status pages are a feature of the higher Site Detection plans. Here is where they fit so you know what to expect.
Growth Plans and Up
Public status pages are available on the Growth plan and above. On Growth, your status page is published at a Site Detection URL you can share with customers.
Custom Domain on Higher Plans
Higher plans add the option to host your status page on your own custom domain, so it can live under a web address that matches your brand.
What Visitors See
Your status page is designed to answer a simple question quickly: is everything working right now, and how has it been holding up?
Overall Status at the Top
A clear banner communicates the overall state — for example, that all systems are operational, or that some services are currently experiencing issues.
Per-Monitor Uptime
Below the banner, each monitor you have chosen to show is listed with its current status and recent uptime, so visitors can see which service is affected.
A Status Page Is Not the Same as Your Alerts
These two work together, but they are aimed at different audiences. Keeping them distinct helps you communicate clearly during an incident.
The Status Page — For Your Customers
A public page you share so customers can check status themselves. You choose which monitors appear, and everything else stays private to your account.
Downtime Alerts — For You
Notifications that reach you when a problem is detected, by email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, or a webhook — see our integrations.
Give Your Customers a Page They Can Check
Turn on a public status page on a Growth plan or higher, pick which monitors to show, and share the link. Your customers get transparency, and you get fewer “is it down?” messages.

Higher plans include the option to host your status page on your own custom domain. On Growth, your status page is published at a Site Detection URL you can share.
Can I choose which monitors appear?
