Create a Status Page
Share the real-time health of your websites and services with your users by creating a Status Page in Pulsetic. Creating a new status page in Pulsetic is straightforward. Configure the general settings to match your needs, and then share the public link with your users.
How to Create a New Status Page
Step 1: Start Creating a Status Page
- Navigate to the Status Pages section in your Pulsetic dashboard.
- If you're creating your first status page, select Add Status Page. Otherwise, select New Status Page.
Step 2: Configure the Basics
This section defines the name and metadata shown to visitors.
- Title: Enter the main name of your status page (e.g., Acme Corp System Status). This is required.
- Custom meta title (Optional): Enter a custom title that will appear in browser tabs and search engine results.
Step 3: Set Up a Custom Domain (Optional)
If you want to serve the status page on your own domain over HTTPS, configure these settings:
- Custom domain name: Enter your preferred domain (like
status.yourwebsite.com). You will need to create a CNAME DNS record pointing toapp.pulsetic.com. Note: The initial request to the status page will take a little longer while we generate your SSL certificate. - Custom additional domain name: Enter a secondary address (like a
www.version) and create an additional CNAME record pointing toapp.pulsetic.com. This will automatically redirect visitors to your primary custom domain. - Restrict access to custom domain only: Enable this toggle to disable the default Pulsetic public URL, forcing all requests to redirect to your custom domain.
- Noindex: Enable this option to add a noindex meta tag, keeping your page hidden from search engines. This is only available for custom domains.
Step 5: Configure Privacy and Access
Control who can see your page and how they receive updates.
- Private: Turn this on to password-protect your status page so only authorized visitors can view it.
- Subscribe to updates: Turn this on to allow visitors to subscribe to service updates by email. This activates a "Manage Subscription" button on your status page so users can manage their alerts.
- Remove Branding: Turn this on to remove any Pulsetic.com branding from your page.
Step 6: Customize the Display
Control how uptime and monitors appear on your page.
- Uptime threshold (%): Enter a percentage benchmark. If a monitor's uptime drops below this value, it will be highlighted in yellow.
- Show the uptime percentage as a whole number: Enable this option to remove decimal numbers from the uptime display (e.g., displaying 99% instead of 99.85%).
- Show the status page's location tooltip: Enable this to display detailed uptime information by location when a visitor hovers over the status bar.
- Move offline monitors to the top: Enable this to automatically move any monitors that are currently down to the very top of your status page for immediate visibility.
Step 7: Add Integrations (Optional)
Set up analytics and custom spam protection.
- Google Analytics: If you are using a custom domain, enter your tracking ID (format:
G-xxxxxxxxxx) to see your status page analytics directly in your Google account. - Use my own reCAPTCHA: Enable this to use your own reCAPTCHA keys instead of Pulsetic's default captcha on your subscribe and manage subscription forms.
Step 8: Save or Cancel
Save: Click Save to create the status page with your settings.
Cancel: Click Cancel to cancel the process without creating a page.
