## The header card

At the top of the dashboard sits one card summing up your store's protection. It shows:

- A status word, such as **AT RISK**, coloured to match the severity of what is open.
- A score, shown in a ring, with a short trend note (for example "down from 5") so you can see whether things are getting better or worse.
- A meta line: how many URLs are guarded, how often they are checked, when the last full check ran, and how long Rabbot has protected the store.
- Your plan chip and a **Manage plan** link.

Nothing on this card is a guess about the future. It is a plain count of what Rabbot has open right now.

## The stat tiles

Below the header card, four tiles give you the numbers at a glance: **URLs guarded** (with a progress bar against your plan's cap), **Critical**, **Warnings**, and **Last check**. If your store has more findings than fit on screen, a link above the finding cards states how many more are in the list below.

## The finding cards

Each open issue gets its own card: a name for the change, a severity chip, how many pages it affects, and a plain-English explanation of what it means for your sales. Choose **Show affected pages** to expand a card into the individual URLs it covers, each with the raw detail behind the finding. Rows that accept a dismissal also carry a **Dismiss as intentional** button, for pages where the change was on purpose. Choose **Hide affected pages** to collapse it again.

## Severity at a glance

Rabbot uses three severity levels, shown as coloured chips on every card: **critical** (red), **warning** (amber), and **info** (blue). The chip says whether something broke, not what it costs you. Those are separate questions: a small set of findings stop a sale outright, and those are the ones that refuse to be dismissed while they are open, whatever chip they carry. Two of them are documented exceptions, a deliberate password gate and a custom purchase flow, because both are things a merchant sets up on purpose. [What critical, warning, and info mean](/docs/issues/severity-levels/) explains how each level is decided and what to do about it.

## Checking in without overreacting

You do not need to sit on the dashboard. Rabbot's job is to tell you the same day something changes, by email, and by Slack on a paid plan, so the dashboard is there for when you want the full picture: after you make theme or app changes, before a big sales push, or when a notification points you back to it. The notifications category covers how those alerts reach you, and [Day-to-day protection](/docs/getting-started/day-to-day-protection/) covers what a normal week looks like once the first check is behind you.
