Restricting Status Page Access to Your Custom Domain

For many users, a dedicated custom domain for their status page is crucial for consistent branding and a professional appearance. Pulsetic's "Restrict access to custom domain only" setting for your status page goes a step further, allowing you to enforce that all traffic to your status page flows exclusively through your custom domain, enhancing both your branding and security posture.

Why Enable This Feature?

  • Stronger Branding: Ensures all visitors consistently see and use your custom domain, reinforcing your brand identity. It eliminates any potential confusion or dilution of your branding by removing the default Pulsetic URL from active use.
  • Improved SEO: Consolidating all traffic to a single, branded domain can positively impact your search engine optimization efforts for your status page.
  • Enhanced Security Perception: A consistent, branded domain looks more professional and trustworthy to your users. It removes the potential for any ambiguity that might arise from multiple access points.
  • Clearer Communication: Directs all your users to the single, authoritative source for your service status, avoiding misdirection.

How to Enable "Restrict access to custom domain only"

  1. Log in to your Pulsetic dashboard and click on Status Pages in the left-hand menu.
  2. Select the status page you want to configure, and select Settings.
  3. Locate the option labeled "Restrict access to custom domain only" and enable it.
  4. Click the Update button to apply your changes.

Note:

Ensure you have already set up and verified your custom domain for the status page. This "Restrict access" option will only work if a custom domain is correctly configured. If you haven't, you'll typically find the custom domain setup options in the same settings area.
