About the Home page

The Home page displays summary information about all services associated with your account. Think of it as a dashboard where you can get quick insights and basic information about your services along with some aggregate, high-level metrics about them. You can use the dashboard to view who's a user on your team and edit their roles or even invite more users to your account. The dashboard also provides links to helpful resources you may need as you navigate your way around the Fastly app.

Before you begin

The Home page appears automatically when users with the appropriate access permissions log in to the Fastly web interface. You can access it by clicking Home next to the stopwatch once you've logged into your account.

About the Your services card

The Your services card displays the services associated with your account and defaulting to those you've designated as your favorites. Each service listed includes a clickable link to the configuration details for that service and a summary of key information about it, including the type of service (CDN or Compute), the current requests per second for it, and the most recently activated service version.

You can change the displayed list of services on the card by selecting a different sort order from the menu to the right of the search field. Other filtering options besides the default Favorites include:

• most recently viewed
• most recently activated
• highest number of requests per second
• most recently created

You can select a smaller area of the world by selecting that area from the left most menu immediately below the card title. Likewise, you can select a variety of other stats to display by selecting one from the right most menu immediately below the card title.
