Usage

Use site status to inform users about the operational status of a website or domain and provide them with a link to a status page where they can learn more.

Writing Content

Status should be communicated in as few words as possible. Remove any extra words if necessary.

Layout

Placement

Site status is usually seen in the Footer component, but it may be placed somewhere else if it makes sense.

A site status element with a green checkmark and the text 'All systems operational' in a footer element on the bottom left.

Best Practices

Long status text

A green site status element that says 'All systems operational'.

Write link text using as few words as possible.

 A site status with the text, 'Congrats! All of your systems appear to be operational.'.

Do not use unnecessary words or punctuation.
