Public Status Pages, a feature to easily share the statuses of the monitors with others, was introduced few months ago.
The standard status page URLs (like https://stats.uptimerobot.com/xyz) were HTTPs-enabled since day one.
However, the ones behind a custom domain (like http://status.mywebsite.com) were not as it was a little more tricky to get a SSL certificate for all the custom domains.
Good news, custom domains are now HTTPs enabled too (thanks to the free + automated CA: Let’s Encrypt).
And, all status pages are actually HTTPs-only from now on.
Important note for CloudFlare users:
As the status pages are now HTTPs-only, the “flexible SSL feature of CloudFlare” will end up in an infinite redirect. There are 2 options to make it work:
- disabling the “cloud feature” for the CNAME
- or, using Full or Strict SSL feature

Sweet!
This is a cool feature and a good application of Let’s Encrypt!
However, this doesn’t seem to work correctly. Over HTTPS, I receive the certificate for status.uptimerobot.com instead of a certificate for the expected domain. If I ignore the error, the expected status report pops up. However, over HTTP, I get a generic error saying “No such site at 69.162.67.140:80”.
I setup the CNAME and status page for status.ctrl.blog just minutes ago. If this is a temporary situation, then maybe stick a message on the page clarifying that things are being configured and will start working in a little while.
Update: Tried again just before submitting this comment, and now it says “Safari Can’t Open the Page”. Do I need a uptime monitor for my uptime monitor status page?
We had few glitches regarding auto-SSL generation for each custom domain. Yet, they are all resolved now :).
Meanwile problem solved
Yes, great!
I like Uptime Robot!
:-)
Great work guys, Always felt a little dirty not seeing https on the status page, all good now :)
Awesome!!!
We are also having some issues with the custom status page. Albeit I just recently configured it, but it throws an SSL error in both Firefox and Chrome.
Interestingly, CloudFlare is unable to establish HTTPs connection with uptimerobot, I'm using full (strict) :/
With Cloudflare, I'm getting 526 - Invalid SSL certificate. I have it set on Full (Strict).
But this might have security issue?
Still getting invalid certificate after 2 weeks, CF passthrough disabled.
Hi, i have setup CNAME for stats.lmspw.com but it gives me SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Works now, thank you
I suffered from the Cloudflare "not working" issue.
Would have been great if you'd have notified of this breaking change in advance instead of just a footnote in a blog post.
On a separate issue my services went down, and when I had an emergency it was not fun to notice that the status page was broken as well..
Turning off the Cloudflare proxy solved the issue. I kept receiving SSL handshake error or something like that..
That's Great!
I have my domain HSTS. Now I can use uptimerobot pages with my domain!
That's awesome, but why the issue with the Cloudflare flex ssl certs?
Hi ! I have tried setting up the alerts for one of the monitors but looks like it doesn't send any confirmation email to my corporate email id but sends it to my personal id if i add one. How can sign up my corporate id for the alerts?
Thanks,
Rohit
Hello, my custom domain is https://stats.tjc.host/ , it shows "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR".
I use both HSTS and DNS CAA on my domain, are they incompatible with this service?
It seems that the issue of certificate is blocked by DNS CAA record.
The problem solved when I added
0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
Yes, if such a preventive CAA record exists, it is needed to make sure Let's Encrypt certs are permitted.
Website does not work?
https://stats.uptimerobot.com/VvVl8Ij8R
It must be a temp issue and all fine now.
Can't seem to get this to work. Using cloudflare disabled using cloudflare CDN but still getting the error message 'No such site at 69.162.67.139:80'
Any ideas why?
Great, so now the "mixed content" warnings are over, finally.
Like UTR :-)
This seems to have stopped working. Bummer.
The status page is really nice.
On our website, we have a link pointing to the status page.
Is there a way to place a "Home" link on the status page to send the user back to our home page?
Thanks
Hey,
If I try to register my CNAME in strato.de following error is displayed:
http://prntscr.com/jcc6t2
''Bitte korrigieren Sie Ihre Eingabe. Es muss ein absoluter Servername angegeben werden, das heißt der Servername muss mit einem Punkt nach der Topleveldomain enden. IP-Adressen können nicht angegeben werden!''
Why only 7 days for the status report?
Can we also have month report in there – is this available in the pro plan ?
Also – can we please have incident pages / ability to add note on why downtime is happening?
We are working on displaying/paginating through the dates.
And, announcements is an upcoming feature.
Hi, I have setup CNAME for status.ferarudynamics.com but it gives me SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT
It must be a temp issue due to the SSL issuance process. The status page now works all fine.
I'm not understanding the setup for this feature. It says custom domain is optional but I get an error if I don't fill in a custom domain. I thought there was a way to get a URL from uptimerobot and some directory. I wanted to test this before creating a custom domain.
Hi Michael,
you don't have to enter a custom domain if you don't want to use one, your status page will be on URL like stats.uptimerobot.com/dasaIa8fablabla, could you please send us all the details if you are still getting any error? Thank you.
I hope to use it, very useful.
Happy to hear that, Peter!
I'm trying to setup the public status page. But I'm getting an SSL error,
This site can’t provide a secure connectionstatus.senior-anywhere.com sent an invalid response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Can I get some assistance with this? I read the comments here, but I'm still having issues.
Hi Justin,
are you still getting any errors when creating the public status page? Please send us some details if yes and we will be happy to take a look at it, but it seems to be working correctly at the moment.
Dear Friends, i hope you are doing well. I have set up the custom domain and created my DNS CNAME.
But the page is not reachable. Do I have a mistake in thinking?
Do I need to create a subdomain with my hoster?
I have chosen onlinestatus. is that ok?
Thanks a lot for help. Best regards and stay healthy. Cheers Nemo
Dear, which CNAME entry is correct?
stats.uptimerobot.com or status.uptimerobot.com
many thanks. Best regards Nemo
