What Is a Status Page and Why You Need One

Boost user trust and reduce support load with transparency

Have you ever received customer complaints like "Nothing works!" — only to find out 15 minutes later that there was a real outage? A status page helps you communicate issues to your users before they reach out.

What Is a Status Page?

A status page is a public webpage that shows the real-time status of your service components: API, database, dashboard, payments, etc. Visitors can instantly see if everything is operational or if there are known issues.

Benefits

  • Transparency: builds trust by showing users what's going on
  • Fewer support tickets: reduces repeated reports of known issues
  • Incident history: helps analyze and explain past outages
  • Branding: use your logo, custom domain, and style

How We Do It

Our service lets you create a status page in one click. Choose which components to show, and how to notify subscribers (email, RSS, Slack). You can auto-post incidents when a monitor fails, or publish manually.

Example Use Case

Imagine you have three services: API, admin panel, and payment gateway. You monitor each, and when there's a problem, your status page is instantly updated with a message like “API downtime, we're investigating.” Your users stay informed and confident.

Bottom Line

A status page isn't just a tool — it's a trust-building asset. Don’t wait for the next outage — create your own status page today.
