Every status page serves a small badge showing your uptime. Put it in a README, a footer, or anywhere you want people to see how your services are doing without clicking through.
Get the code
Open the status page in your dashboard and look for Badge for your site. It shows the live badge and a Copy the code button that gives you this, already filled in with your own address:
<a href="https://status.yourdomain.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
<img src="https://status.yourdomain.com/badge.svg" alt="Service status">
</a>
Paste it anywhere that accepts HTML. Both the image and the link point at your status page, and it opens in a new tab so a reader is not pulled away from the page they were on.
For a README, the same thing in Markdown:
[](https://status.yourdomain.com)
If your page is on the linkrobins.com address rather than your own domain, the badge is at https://linkrobins.com/status/your-slug/badge.svg.
It is a plain image on a public address. There is nothing to sign, no key, and no script to load.
What it shows
The badge carries the Link Robins mark, the word uptime, and your figure over the last 90 days. It is the same number printed at the top of your status page, so the two never disagree.
The colour grades with it:
- green at 99.9% and above
- lime from 99%
- amber from 95%
- orange below that
- red, reading
down, whenever a monitor on the page is down right now, whatever the history says
- grey, reading
no data, before the first check has run
How fresh it is
The badge is generated when it is requested and asks to be cached for a minute. Content delivery networks in front of it, ours included, may hold a copy longer. Treat it as a good indicator rather than a live readout: if you need the state this second, the status page itself is better, and alerts are better still.
A note on private pages
The badge stays public even when the status page it belongs to is protected by a password. It gives away nothing but the uptime figure, no monitor names or incident detail, but it is worth knowing before you embed it somewhere you would not expect that to be visible.
