Compact Layout Mode for Status Pages
Last updated: 2026-07-09
The Compact layout is a dense alternative to the Default layout: one row per component, a condensed 45-day history strip, and components within the same group rendered together in a single shared card instead of separate boxed cards.
When to Use the Compact Layout
The Compact layout is ideal for:
- Status pages with many components where you still want uptime history visible
- A tighter, more polished look than the Default layout without going as minimal as the Minimal layout
- Teams who want their grouped components to read as one cohesive card, similar to status pages from providers like Hyperping
If you need the most condensed view possible with no history at all, use the Minimal layout instead. If you have many component groups and want an accordion-style summary, use the Large layout.
How the Compact Layout Works
Glued Component Groups
Components inside the same component group render together inside one shared bordered card, separated only by thin divider lines - not as individual cards with gaps between them. Only the group’s outer card has rounded corners; the seams between components inside it are flat, straight lines.
Ungrouped components are treated the same way: they’re wrapped in a single shared card together, rather than each getting its own separate card.
45-Day History Strip
Each component’s history strip shows the most recent 45 days (rather than the full 90 shown in the Default layout), captioned “45 days ago” / “Today”. The uptime percentage next to each component name still reflects the full 90-day average - only the visual tick strip is shortened.
Chrome-Free Overall Status Banner
The “All Systems Operational” summary banner at the top of the page has no border or background in Compact mode, so it sits flush with the page.
Narrower Components Column
The components section is narrower and centered, rather than spanning the full page width - matching the denser, more compact feel of this layout.
No Legend, Note, or “No Recent Incidents” Illustration
Like Minimal mode, Compact mode hides the status legend, the “daily uptime ticks are shaded when they overlap scheduled maintenance” note, and the large checkmark illustration shown when there are no recent incidents.
Enabling the Compact Layout
- Go to Status Pages from the left menu
- Click on your status page
- Open Settings
- Go to the Visual tab
- Find Layout Mode and select Compact
- Click Save
Your page will immediately reflect the new layout.
The layout choice is separate from branding, so your logo, colors, and theme settings still apply. See Branding Your Status Page.
