Site detail page

Everything DomainDash knows about one site, all in one place.

Overview

When you click a site on your dashboard, you land on the site detail page. This is your single-screen summary of how the site is doing right now: uptime stats, response time trends, SSL certificate health, DNS configuration, and domain registration status. It updates in real time, so you can leave it open and know you're always looking at the latest data.

The site toolbar

At the top of the page is a toolbar with the site's name (or domain), its current status badge, and a few controls:

  • Back arrow takes you back to your dashboard.
  • Timeframe selector lets you switch between different time windows (last hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and more) to see how your site has performed over that period. On desktop this appears as a row of tabs; on mobile it's a dropdown.
  • Site menu (three-dot icon) opens a menu with quick actions:
    • Settings to go to the site's configuration page
    • Pause monitoring or Resume monitoring to temporarily stop or restart all checks for this site without removing it
    • Remove site to permanently delete the site and all its data

Status badge

The status badge in the toolbar gives you an at-a-glance summary of the site's overall health. It takes into account uptime, SSL status, and recent performance to show one of these states:

StatusWhat it means
HealthyEverything's working well. The site is responding and there are no issues with SSL, DNS, or registration.
SlowThe site is responding, but it's taking longer than usual. Worth investigating.
DownThe site isn't responding. DomainDash has opened an incident and will send you an alert.
PausedMonitoring has been temporarily turned off for this site.

Alert banner

If something needs your attention, like an ongoing outage, an expired SSL certificate, or an unexpected response code, an alert banner appears just below the toolbar. It tells you exactly what the problem is, how long it's been going on, and links to more detail where relevant.

Summary stats

Below the alert area, a summary strip shows three key numbers for the selected timeframe:

  • Uptime: the percentage of checks that came back healthy. Anything above 99.5% is highlighted in green.
  • Average response time: how quickly your site typically responds, in milliseconds. Under 300ms shows in green, 300--800ms in amber, and above 800ms in red.
  • Total checks: how many individual uptime checks DomainDash ran in this timeframe.

Response time chart

The main chart shows your site's response time over the selected timeframe as a continuous line. Each point represents an individual check. If you've enabled regional checks, a second line appears in a different colour so you can compare performance between your primary and secondary monitoring regions.

Below the chart, a View uptime details link takes you to the full uptime page with individual check history and timing breakdowns.

Enabling regions from the chart

If you haven't set up a second monitoring region yet, you can do it directly from the chart. Click on a region pill above the chart and confirm in the dialog that appears. DomainDash will start checking your site from that location straight away.

SSL, DNS, and registration cards

Below the response time chart, three cards give you a snapshot of the other things DomainDash monitors:

SSL certificate card

Shows whether your site's SSL certificate is valid, along with:

  • How many days are left before it expires
  • A progress indicator showing how far through the certificate's lifetime you are
  • The current SSL status (valid, expiring soon, expired, or invalid)

If the site is currently down, the card shows a simplified "site unreachable" state instead. Each card links to a View security details page with more information.

DNS card

Shows the current state of your site's DNS (Domain Name System) configuration. If DNS is healthy, you'll see a summary of the key records. If something has changed or looks wrong, the card flags it. Links through to View routing details for the full picture.

Domain registration card

Shows when your domain was registered, when it expires, and how many days are left on the registration. If the domain is getting close to expiry, DomainDash warns you here. Links through to View registration details.

Paused monitoring

If you've turned off a specific type of monitoring (for example, SSL or DNS) in your site settings, the relevant card shows as paused rather than displaying data. Re-enable it at any time.
