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
