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 check 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:

• "Security on example.com renews in 3 days"
• "acme.com has been responding slowly for the last 2 hours"
• "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 / Needs attention 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. When the watch list flags something, it's worth your time, not noise.

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, so you can tell a healthy site from one that needs a look without opening anything:

• Favicon and domain so you can spot the site you're looking for

• Status badge — Healthy, Needs attention, Down, or Paused (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, Move to group (or Move to another group if it's already in one), Remove from group when the site is in a group, and Remove.

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 incidents.
Needs attention	Something needs a look: the site might be responding slowly, an SSL or domain renewal could be approaching, or another check is in a warning state. Still responding, but worth checking.
Down	The site isn't responding. DomainDash has opened an incident and will alert you on your configured channels.
Paused	Checks are paused for this site, so DomainDash isn't watching it right now. You'll see this when you pause a site yourself, or after a trial ends and the Free plan pauses sites over its limit.

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 filter bar above the grid keeps things manageable as your site list grows.

• Health pills — a row of pills lets you narrow the grid by status: All, Healthy, Needs attention, and Down. Each pill shows a live count of how many sites are in that bucket. A Paused pill appears too, but only when you actually have paused sites, so you never see a dead "0" pill. Tap a pill to filter; tap All to clear.
• Group pills — your site groups appear as pills on the same row, each with its own count. Tap one to filter the grid to just that group. There's also a New group button at the end (if you can manage sites) to create a group on the spot.
• Sort — a sort control on the right lets you choose how the cards are ordered: by most recent incidents, newest first, worst uptime, slowest response, or alphabetically.

To find a specific site by domain, use the command palette: press ⌘+K (or Ctrl+K) and start typing a domain.

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 checks: uptime, response time, 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.

Frequently asked questions

What does each status badge on a site card mean?

Every card shows one of four statuses. Healthy means the site is responding normally with no open incidents. Needs attention means something is worth a look: it might be responding slowly, an SSL or domain renewal could be approaching, or another check is in a warning state. Down means the site isn't responding and DomainDash has opened an incident. Paused means checks are switched off for that site.

How do I find a specific site on my dashboard?

Use the command palette: press ⌘+K (or Ctrl+K) and start typing a domain. You can also narrow the grid with the health pills and group pills in the filter bar above your sites, or use the sort control to reorder the cards.

Why isn't a Paused pill showing in my filter bar?

The Paused pill only appears when you actually have one or more paused sites, so you never see a dead "0" pill. You'll see paused sites when you pause one yourself, or after a trial ends and the Free plan pauses sites over its limit.

How quickly do results appear after I add a site?

Results start appearing within a few seconds of adding a site. Give it a couple of minutes to build up enough data to populate the sparklines.
