Public Status Page

Give your clients a live, public-facing page showing real-time uptime, 30-day history, and active incidents — with your own domain.

Overview

Every SiteBrief account gets a public status page at sitebrief.net/status/your-slug. Clients can bookmark it to check service status without contacting you. You can also point your own subdomain to it (e.g. status.yourcompany.com).

The page shows:

Overall system status (All systems operational / degraded / outage)
Per-site status with 30-day uptime bar history
Active incidents with severity and timeline
Subscriber email form for incident notifications

Setting up your status page

1Go to Settings → Status Page
2Enable the status page toggle
3Set a slug (e.g. myagency) — your page will be at sitebrief.net/status/myagency
4Optionally set a title and password
5Save

Choosing which sites to show

By default all your sites appear on the status page. To hide a specific site, go to that site's detail page → Settings → turn off Show on status page. Changes take effect immediately.

💡

Tip:Use this to show only client-facing production sites while hiding internal staging or monitoring endpoints.

Custom domain

On the Agency plan you can map your own subdomain (e.g. status.youragency.com) to your status page. SSL is automatic — no extra configuration needed.

Step 1 — Add a CNAME record

In your DNS provider, add:

Type: CNAME

Name: status (or whatever subdomain you want)

Value: proxy.sitebrief.net

Step 2 — Add domain in SiteBrief

Go to Settings → Status Page → Custom domain → enter the full subdomain (e.g. status.youragency.com) → Save.

ℹ️

Note:DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. Once it propagates, https://status.youragency.com will show your status page automatically.

White-label branding (Agency)

Agency plan unlocks full white-label control over your status page — clients see your brand, not SiteBrief.

Setting	Where to configure	Effect
Brand color	Settings → Branding → Brand color	Accent stripe and highlights use your hex color
Logo	Settings → Branding → Logo	Your logo replaces the SiteBrief icon in the header
Custom CSS	Settings → Status Page → Custom CSS	Full CSS injection — override any style on the page
Favicon & OG	Automatic from logo	Browser tab icon and social share image use your logo
Remove branding	Automatic on Agency plan	"Powered by SiteBrief" footer link is hidden

💡

Tip:Use Custom CSS to match your agency's exact brand guidelines — fonts, colors, spacing, anything. Changes apply instantly without a deploy.

Password protection

Set a password in Settings → Status Page → Password. Visitors must enter it before seeing the page. This is useful for internal dashboards or clients who want privacy. Leave it empty for a fully public page.

Incident management

Create incidents from the Status Page section in your dashboard. Each incident has a severity level and can be updated as you resolve it. Active incidents appear prominently on the status page; resolved ones are hidden.

Severity	When to use
Minor	Partial degradation, slow responses
Major	A site is down or key functionality broken
Critical	Full outage affecting multiple services
