What's a Status Page, anyhow?

A status page is a webpage or dedicated platform that offers real-time updates and information regarding the operational status of a service, website, or application. Commonly utilized by businesses, organizations, and online service providers, status pages keep users informed about ongoing issues, planned maintenance, and service disruptions.

The primary purpose of a status page is to communicate the current status and availability of a service to its users. Acting as a central hub, users can check for problems or disruptions affecting the services they depend on. By offering timely and transparent information, status pages help manage user expectations and minimize support inquiries during service disruptions.

Status pages are advantageous for both users and service providers. By proactively sharing information, service providers showcase their dedication to transparency and customer satisfaction. Moreover, status pages assist support teams by reducing the number of support inquiries during incidents, directing users to the status page for updates.

Overall a status page is a vital tool for effective communication and transparency, allowing service providers to keep users informed about the operational health of their services and maintain a positive user experience.

So, why make this list?

Most status pages are not widely advertised, though they are not exactly hidden either. They are simply obscure. For example, instead of wondering if your email provider is experiencing issues and feeling obligated to call them, you can simply check their status page.

It's in everyone's best interest to be aware of these pages. After all, knowledge is power.
