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.
