Your dashboard
Open DomainDash and you land on your sites dashboard. It's the single screen that answers two questions: is anything wrong right now, and what should I look at next.
The page is titled Your sites in the app — dashboard is just shorthand for the same view in this guide.
The "all sites" summary
Top-left of the grid is a single card that summarises everything below it. It shifts shape based on whether you have anything to act on.
When everything's healthy
You'll see an All sites healthy pill, your total site count, and 7-day aggregate uptime. If a renewal is approaching, the card adds an On the horizon line — for example, "Next renewal: example.com in 30 days" — so the most distant thing on your radar still gets surfaced gently.
When something needs your attention
The card switches into watch mode. Instead of the calm pill, you'll see a Watch list of up to three items at the top, each one a real concern in plain English:
- "SSL on example.com expires in 3 days"
- "acme.com has been Slow for the last 2 hours"
- "DNS on api.acme.com is down"
If there are more than three, a + N more link takes you to a filtered view. Below the watch list you'll find a Sites / Healthy / Issues count grid and the same 7-day aggregate uptime.
The picker is intentionally cautious. It uses the same severity rules as the per-site cards (SSL and domain expiries tighten as the deadline approaches, slowness has to persist), so a 5-minute blip won't show up here.
Each site, on its own card
Every other tile in the grid is one site. A card shows everything you need to triage at a glance:
- Favicon and domain so you can spot the site you're looking for
- Status badge — Healthy, Slow, or Down (real-time, no need to refresh)
- Response sparkline — a quick 7-day trend so you can tell whether a slow result is one-off or a pattern
- 7-day uptime with a small trend delta showing whether things are getting better or worse
- SSL and domain renewal callouts when an expiry is close enough to matter
- Open incident indicator if there's an active incident on that site
Click anywhere on a card to open the site detail page for response times, SSL, DNS, and registration deep-dives.
The three-dot menu in the top-right of each card has per-site shortcuts for Settings, Add to group / Remove from group, and Delete.
Status indicators
The status badge on every card uses the same vocabulary across DomainDash.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Healthy | The site is responding normally and there are no open issues. |
| Slow | The site is still responding, but more slowly than its baseline. Worth keeping an eye on. |
| Down | The site isn't responding. DomainDash has opened an incident and will alert you on your configured channels. |
If a site has an active incident, the card shows a pulsing badge so it's hard to miss as you scan the grid.
Filtering, sorting, and grouping
A small toolbar above the grid keeps things manageable as your site list grows.
- Search — type a domain or name to filter the grid in place.
- Sort — choose how the cards are ordered: most recent issues first, alphabetical, or by date added.
- Group filter — a row of pills below the search bar shows your site groups. Click one to filter the grid to just that group; click again to clear.
The "all sites" summary at the top-left adapts as you filter — so a group view gives you the summary for that group, not for everything.
On mobile
On smaller screens the cards stack into a single column and the navigation moves to a bottom bar so you can switch between sites, incidents, and settings with your thumb. The watch list on the "all sites" card stays in the same place, so the most urgent thing is still the first thing you see when you open the app.
Empty state
If you haven't added any sites yet, the dashboard shows an Add your first site button and a quick reminder of what DomainDash watches: uptime, response speed, SSL certificates, DNS, and domain expiry. Once you add a site, results start appearing within a few seconds — give it a couple of minutes to build up enough data to populate the sparklines.
