Status Pages Your Customers Can Rely On
Publish a status page that answers 'is it just me, or is it down?' in one click. Components update themselves from your monitors, while you stay in control of the customer-facing story.
A Status Page That Runs Itself
Automatic where it should be, manual where it matters
Always Up to Date
Components reflect their monitors automatically and the page updates itself as incidents open and resolve — no one has to remember to flip a switch.
Components Backed by Monitors
Build the page from the services your customers recognize, each backed by one or more of your monitors.
Live Uptime Heatmap
Visitors see recent history at a glance with an at-a-glance uptime heatmap, plus per-component history.
Updates in Your Words
Post customer-friendly incident updates as things develop, and override a component's state manually whenever you need to.
Scheduled Maintenance
Announce planned work ahead of time so expected downtime never looks like an outage to your customers.
Multiple Pages
Run separate status pages for different products, regions or audiences — each with its own components and visibility.
Public, Private or Password-Protected
Choose visibility per page: open to the world, internal-only, or behind a shared password.
RSS & Built for Spikes
An RSS feed lets people subscribe to changes, and the page is cached so it stays fast even under a traffic spike during an outage.
Why Run Your Status Page on WatchFor?
During an outage, your support inbox fills with 'is it down?' the moment customers notice. A status page answers that question for everyone at once, without a ticket. Because components are wired straight to your monitors, the page is honest and current by default — and when something needs a human touch, you post updates in your own words and set states manually. One page, far fewer tickets, and a lot more trust.

How Status Pages Work
Live in minutes, maintained automatically
Start a Page
Give it a name and description. You can run multiple pages for different products, regions or audiences.
Add Components
Build the page out of components your customers recognize, each backed by one or more monitors.
Choose Visibility
Make it public, private, or password-protected — whatever fits the audience.
Publish & Share
Share the link. The page updates itself as incidents open and resolve, and you can post updates anytime.
Status Page Use Cases
One page, many audiences
Public Incident Communication
Give customers a single trusted link during outages. They self-serve the current state instead of opening tickets, and you communicate once to everyone.
Internal / Team Status
Keep a private or password-protected page for staff and stakeholders, so internal teams always know the state of every service.
Multi-Product & Multi-Region
Run separate pages per product, brand or region, each scoped to the components and audience that matter for it.
Scheduled Maintenance
Announce planned work ahead of time so expected downtime is communicated clearly and never mistaken for an incident.
