Site verification

When you add a site, it starts in a pending state. Flowpane verifies the site by requesting its homepage.

What Flowpane checks

  • The URL resolves to a valid server (DNS lookup succeeds)
  • The server returns an HTTP 200 response
  • The site is publicly accessible

Verification states

State Meaning
Pending Verification in progress or queued
Active Site verified and ready for governance checks

Troubleshooting

If verification fails:

  • Confirm the URL is correct and the site is live
  • Check that the site isn't blocking requests from unknown user agents
  • Ensure the site doesn't require authentication
  • Verify there are no IP-based access restrictions
