Domain dashboard

The domain dashboard is the summary of one domain. To open it, open a domain and, in its menu, press Dashboard.

It shows what continuous stabilization has measured on the domain: the overall score, the fix to start with, the list of improvements, and four areas (email and DNS, uptime, SSL, blacklists). It is also where you generate the evidence report of the domain and its public link.

The screen always says which of three situations the domain is in: under continuous stabilization, stopped with its last measurement, or never measured by it.

The account Owner can always open it. A Operator or a Viewer opens it if their role includes viewing domains and the Workspace of the domain is assigned to them.

• Know how the domain is today. One score out of 100, a risk level, and when it was last measured.
• Know where to start. The screen picks one fix to do first and orders the rest.
• See each area on its own. Email and DNS, uptime, SSL and blacklists each have their own cards, so a good score does not hide a weak area.
• Know how fresh the data is. A notice at the top says whether the domain is being measured now or you are looking at an old measurement.
• Hand the client something. A PDF report or a public link, generated from this screen.

• One source only. Everything on this screen comes from Continuous stabilization. A static analysis is not shown here: it has its own option in the menu of the domain, Static Analysis.
• Six modules. The domain is measured in six modules: Email, SSL, DNS, MX, Blacklist and Uptime.
• The overall score is not a plain average. It combines the average of the modules that have a score with the lowest of them, so one weak module pulls the whole score down. A module with no score is left out.
• The risk follows the score, with one limit. If a module could not be measured, the risk is never shown as low.
• The screen refreshes on its own, about once a minute. There is no button to press.
• A stopped domain keeps its last measurement. When continuous stabilization stops on a domain, this screen keeps showing the last thing it measured, with its date. Nothing updates it until you turn it on again.
• Turning it on uses a place of your plan. Turning it off frees it. See Billing.

At the top, the title, the help button and the Evidence report button. Below, a notice with the situation of the domain, and then the blocks. Some blocks only appear when they have something to show.

The notice

• Green. The domain is under continuous stabilization. The button at its right end stops it.
• Orange. It is not under continuous stabilization now, but it was. The notice gives two dates: when the last measurement was taken and when it stopped. The button at its right end turns it on again; if the domain is not verified, the button is Verify domain instead.
• Blue. The domain has never been under continuous stabilization.

Under a green notice, a second warning appears if the verification of the domain is no longer current, with the Verify domain button.

The score

• A circle with the overall score out of 100. Green from 80, orange from 50, red below: the same cut-offs across the whole console. A dash means no module has a score yet.
• The name of the domain and its risk: Low, Medium or High.
• A mark with the points gained or lost since the previous measurement. It compares the overall scores of the last two measurements, and only appears while the domain is under continuous stabilization and the score changed.
• One sentence explaining the score.
• A line with the source, the date of the last measurement and how long until the next one. A stopped domain has no next measurement.
• On the right, Projected score if you apply improvements: the overall score estimated if you apply the improvements listed. It appears only when it is higher than the current score. The points of each improvement belong to its module, so they do not add up to this number.

Generated reports and links

It appears once the domain has a report or a public link. It shows the three most recent; a button at the bottom shows them all.

• A report row has its kind and period, when it was generated or requested, and until when it can be downloaded. The kinds are Executive report, Technical report and Initial state; the last one is generated on its own when continuous stabilization starts on the domain.
• A report that is ready has the In the portal switch and the Download button. Otherwise the row shows its state: Generating…, Failed or Expired.
• A link row is named Public link to the domain status. It shows when it was created, when it expires and how many times it was visited, with the Copy link and Revoke buttons. Expired and revoked links are not listed.

Start here

The single fix to do first, with the reason it goes first, its impact and its effort (Quick fix, Moderate or Complex). Show fix plan opens the steps. When a step has a value to publish, it is shown with a Copy button.

Top improvements

A numbered list of the defects found, the most urgent first. Each row has the module it belongs to, its impact (High impact, Medium impact or Low impact), its effort, and the points its module recovers when you fix it. Each one has its own Show fix plan.

Improvements that are not defects are kept behind a button at the bottom of the list. With no defects, the list says No priority improvements.

The four areas

Each area is a row of cards. A card has a name, a state, a value and, at the bottom, the points it moved since the previous measurement and how long ago it was measured. The states are Healthy, Needs attention, At risk, Failing and Pending; the last one means there is no data to judge. An area with a red bar on its left has something serious.

Email & DNS Health

• SPAM auth: the score of the email module, and which of SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass. DMARC counts as passing only when its policy is quarantine or reject.
• MX routing: the score of the MX module and how many MX records the domain has.
• DNS foundation: the score of the DNS module, how many name servers it has and whether DNSSEC is on.
• Email posture: the average of the three scores above. It appears only when the three have a score.

Uptime Monitoring

• Current status: the result of the most recent check of the site.
• Response time (avg): the average response time of the checks that succeeded in the last 24 hours, with a small chart of the most recent ones.
• Recent incidents: how many times the site stopped serving correctly in the last 24 hours. An outage that was already going on when the 24 hours began counts as one. A certificate that is not valid counts too.
• Availability (24h): the percentage of checks in the last 24 hours in which the site answered.

SSL & Site Security

• Certificate: the days left until the certificate expires, with the date. If the certificate is not valid, the card names the cause instead: expired, issued for another name, not trusted, or no TLS connection.
• TLS / protocol: the protocol the site negotiated. It is marked at risk when the site still accepts old versions.
• HTTPS / redirect: whether plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS.
• HSTS / CAA: for how many months HSTS is set and the certificate authority allowed by CAA. The card appears only when there is one of the two.

Blacklist Reputation

• Current status: clean, or the number of lists the domain appears on.
• Last scan: how long ago the lists were checked.
• Listed sources: the lists the domain appears on, out of the lists that answered.
• Trend: whether the domain is on more or fewer lists than in the state continuous stabilization keeps protected for this module.

Recommended fix order

The fixes as numbered steps, each with the reason for its place and its own Show fix plan. It appears only when there is an order to propose.

Data status

It appears only when the data of a module is old, or when two modules say things that do not fit together.

Trend

One bar per day, with the last overall score of that day. Choose 7 days, 30 days or 90 days. It appears only while the domain is under continuous stabilization.

A domain never measured

In place of the blocks above, the screen shows:

• A card with an empty circle, the name of the domain and the Go to the static analysis button.
• What you will see here: the six modules as empty boxes, each marked No data.
• A card to turn on continuous stabilization, with the Turn on continuous stabilization button. If the domain is not verified, the card says so and offers Verify domain instead.
