Public widgets

Using the WebCheck status widget

Embed a safe public status summary, understand current availability and keep private monitoring details private.

The WebCheck widget is a public status summary designed to be embedded on a website. It does not expose monitored URLs, internal IDs, check settings or diagnostic evidence.

What the widget shows

The widget can show operational, degraded, offline or unavailable status, uptime or current availability, average response time and the last completed check.

Why uptime may say current availability

New sites do not have enough history for a completed-period percentage. The widget labels its provisional value as current availability until the selected period is complete.

If the widget is unavailable

Check that the widget is enabled and that the embed token has not been revoked. Public responses are cached briefly and rate-limited; the widget never starts a live check itself.
