REL-008

Domain shows a parked or placeholder page

HighDefault severity · Reliability · SEO, quality and performance

Last reviewed

What it checks

Registrar parking pages, "domain for sale" pages, and short "coming soon" or maintenance pages.

Why it matters

Visitors and search engines see a placeholder instead of your app. This often means DNS points at the registrar instead of your host.

Recommended fix

Point the domain’s DNS records at your hosting provider, or publish the real site.

How to verify

Open the domain in a private window and confirm the real site loads.

Example fix prompt

Generic prompt (your report adds the evidence)
Please fix this production issue in my app.

Issue REL-008: Domain shows a parked or placeholder page
Site: https://your-app.example

First confirm the issue in the code or live config. If it is not present, say so and change nothing.
Task: The production domain serves a parked or placeholder page. Give me the DNS records (A/CNAME) the hosting provider expects for this domain and the steps to point the domain at the deployed app.

Constraints: make the smallest change that fixes this, keep the current design and behaviour, never paste secret values into code or chat, and tell me which files you changed.
Done when: Open the domain in a private window and confirm the real site loads.
