Web Status desktop widget
The Kepo Web Status plugin helps you see whether a website is reachable without opening a full uptime dashboard.
Sometimes you only need to know whether a page is reachable.
A full uptime service may be too much for a personal site, small landing page, internal URL, or temporary campaign page.
Web Status gives one URL a small availability widget in Kepo.
Web Status is for quick availability checks, not full incident management.

Who needs a website status widget

One URL and recent check history
The widget checks the configured URL on a schedule and shows current status with recent results.

Timeouts affect results
