A Shareable Status Page for Your Client Sites

A shareable status page gives a client a single link that shows whether their site is up right now and how it has performed, without them emailing you to ask. Deltio gives every monitored site a public status page you can share: it shows uptime and the current state (online, offline or firewall blocked), backed by an HTTP check every 10 minutes, so the client sees a live answer instead of waiting for your reply. It turns monitoring you already run into something the client can see, which quietly justifies the retainer. From £20 a month, with a 14-day free trial.

Every agency gets the same message: "is the site down?" Usually the site is fine, and you spend ten minutes proving it. A status page answers that question before it is asked. It is a small thing that changes the relationship: the client stops wondering whether anyone is watching, because they can see that someone is.

What a status page is, and is not

A status page is a public, shareable view of a site's availability and recent performance. It is not a dashboard full of internal SEO detail, and it is not where you put alerts meant for your team. It answers one question for a non-technical client: is my site working, and has it been? Keep it to that. The technical monitoring, the noindex catches and canonical diffs, stays in your tooling and your reports, not on a page you hand to the client.

Why it is worth sharing with clients

• It stops the "is it down" emails. The client checks the link instead of messaging you, and usually reassures themselves.
• It makes invisible work visible. Uptime monitoring is easy to run and easy for a client to forget you run. A page they can open is proof.
• It sets a shared source of truth. When something does go down, you and the client are looking at the same thing, not arguing over whether it happened.
• It is a soft differentiator. Most small agencies do not offer one. A link in your onboarding email quietly signals that you operate like a bigger shop.

What to put on it

• Current state. Online, offline, or blocked, right now.
• Uptime over time. A simple record the client can read at a glance.
• Response behaviour. Whether the site is slow, not just whether it is up. Nothing else. Resist the urge to add SEO metrics a client cannot interpret. The value is clarity, and clarity is the first thing more data destroys.

How to use it in the client relationship

Share the link once, in onboarding, and reference it when a scare happens: "here is the status page, it has been up all week." Put it in the footer of your monthly report next to the uptime figure. For agencies that want to go further, the status page pairs with a white-label approach to monitoring, covered in white-label website monitoring for agencies, and with turning alerts into a deliverable, covered in website monitoring in client reports.

How Deltio does it

Every site you add to Deltio gets a public status page you can share by link. Behind it, Deltio runs an HTTP check every 10 minutes and records the state as online, offline or firewall blocked, along with response time and status code, so the page reflects a genuine recent check rather than a guess. When the site goes down you and the client both have the same reference, and Deltio also notifies you by email and Slack so you are already on it. The deeper monitoring, SSL expiry, domain expiry, sitemap and SEO scanner changes, sits in your dashboard and feeds your reports, tied together by the uptime and SEO monitoring that runs underneath. The status page is the client-facing surface of all of it.

Share one with a client

Add a client site, let uptime data build for a few days, and send them the status page link in your next check-in. It is the least effort, most visible way to show the monitoring you run. The 14-day free trial is enough to set one up and share it.
