The dashboard is your home screen in TLDTrack. It pulls the health of everything you watch into one view, so you can tell at a glance whether anything needs you today.

The health indicator and ticker
Across the top of every screen you will see a simple traffic-light health indicator, alongside a rotating ticker. The colour is worked out live from your whole portfolio:
- Red when something is genuinely broken: a monitored site is down, or a site has landed on a blacklist. The ticker names each one and links straight to it.
- Amber when there is a warning worth a look but nothing is offline, such as a WordPress plugin or user change, a hosting disk or bandwidth alert, or a newly detected domain renewal.
- Green when nothing urgent is outstanding.
Because it sits at the top of every page, you keep seeing it wherever you are in the platform, not just on the home screen, and each ticker item is a link to the exact site or area it is about.
Urgent things come to you
The panels on the home page
Below the top bar, the home page starts with four headline cards and splits the rest into tabs. Which tabs you see depends on your role and on the agency add-on:
- Headline cards. How many sites you monitor, how many are up now with a 12-day uptime strip, how many alerts need attention, and how many domains and certificates expire within 30 days.
- Monitoring. Your sites table, with your favourite sites first, then sections for downtime, WordPress changes, blacklist and malware results, certificates expiring soon, recent DNS changes and domains needing attention.
- Content. Content checks, brand consistency and visual checks.
- Hosting and Domains. Hosting resource alerts, upcoming renewals and expiring domains.
- Agency. Shown when you have the agency add-on. See below.
The Content and Hosting and Domains tabs are shown to admins and staff. The tab you last opened is remembered for next time.
What changed since you were last here
The dashboard also keeps a short tally of what has happened since your previous sign-in: new alerts, sites added, domains that have expired, and renewals detected. It is a quick way to catch up without reading everything, especially after a weekend or a few days away.
If you run the agency add-on
With the agency add-on active, the dashboard grows an Agency tab on top of the monitoring. It shows four headline figures (late work, work in flight, unbilled time and amounts to invoice), the job cards being worked on, open client requests, the time logged this week, and the forwarding address for the smart inbox. A client request can be turned into a task, which keeps the requests and the work in one place.
A typical morning look
In practice, most people use the dashboard the same way each day:
- Glance at the health indicator at the top. Green means carry on; a warmer colour means read the ticker.
- Skim the Needs attention card and the since-last-visit summary for anything new.
- Check upcoming renewals on the Hosting and Domains tab so nothing expires by surprise.
- Click straight into any site that is flagged to see the detail and decide what to do.
Set up alerts and notifications and the urgent items will also reach you by email or push, so the dashboard confirms what you already heard rather than being the only place a problem shows up.
Getting around
A sidebar on the left groups the rest of TLDTrack into sections, starting with your Dashboard and Monitors, then the areas for the different things you monitor. It stays with you as you move around, so you are never more than a click or two from where you need to be. If a section you expected is missing, it is likely switched off in modules for your team, or hidden because of your role.
