Managing multiple websites across environments can quickly become a headache. Microsoft’s new Power Pages Home Action Center is here to simplify that. It offers a centralized dashboard that keeps you informed and in control of your sites’ health, security, and performance.

What’s New with the Action Center?

The Action Center is now generally available, providing a streamlined experience for makers and site owners. It surfaces critical insights and recommended actions directly in Power Pages Home. Instead of juggling multiple tools, you get one place to monitor expiring sites, security settings, and performance gaps.

  • CDN Not Enabled: Lists sites missing Content Delivery Network setup, which boosts performance globally.
  • WAF Disabled: Highlights sites without Web Application Firewall protection, a must-have for security.
  • SSL Certificates Expiring: Alerts you about certificates expiring within 90 days to avoid downtime.
  • Bootstrap 3 Usage: Shows sites still on outdated Bootstrap 3, encouraging migration for better UX.
