Badges

Embeddable badges let you display real-time status, uptime percentage, and response time for any monitored check — directly in your README, documentation, or website.

How Badges Work

You select a check in your dashboard and open the Badge Embed section
Choose a badge type (Status, Uptime, or Response Time)
Choose an embed format (Script, HTML, or Markdown)
Copy the snippet and paste it where you need it
The badge auto-updates every 5 minutes via server-side caching
