Overview - Status Page Best Practices That Build Customer Trust

Name components the way customers think

"Website", "Dashboard", "API" and "Payments" beat internal names like "k8s-prod-ingress". Upmonora lets you use any monitor as a component on as many pages as you like.

Show history

A 90-day uptime bar per component tells customers more than any claim. Occasional red is normal; a page that is never red is not believed.

During an incident

Acknowledge fast, update often, and resolve explicitly. Customers forgive outages much more readily than silence.

After an incident

Keep the resolved incident visible with its duration. Upmonora's incident summaries can help you draft a short, factual post-incident note.
