The dashboard's Top risk items widget ranks your items by a score, so the ones most likely to hurt you come first. Every item starts at 0 and gains points for each of these problems:
| Problem | Default points |
|---|---|
| Overdue (renewal date already passed) | 60 |
| Renews within 7 days | 45 |
| Renews within 30 days (but more than 7) | 25 |
| Domain in a risky registry state (Redemption Period, Pending Delete, Client Hold) | 28 |
| No SSL recorded (domains, hosting, SaaS and other non-"other" types) | 12 |
| Domain without WHOIS privacy | 12 |
Only one date rule applies at a time (overdue, or within 7 days, or within 30 days). The other three add on top. Items with a score of 0 are not listed. The widget shows the top six, each with its score, how many days are left (or overdue), and three buttons:
- Open shows the item's details.
- Snooze hides the item's reminders for one day (see Set up renewal alerts).
- Renew Now opens the item so you can update its renewal date after you pay.
Change the weights. Open Settings → Automation → Risk scoring and change the numbers for Overdue, Due <= 7d, Due <= 30d, Missing SSL, Missing Privacy and Domain Risk (each from 0 to 200). For example, set Missing SSL to 0 if you do not care about it, or raise Domain Risk if a lapsed domain would be a disaster. Save the settings.
Example. A domain that expires in 5 days, has no privacy and no SSL recorded scores 45 + 12 + 12 = 69 and ranks above a hosting plan due in 20 days with SSL ticked (25).
Fixing things. To bring a score down: renew and update the date, tick SSL or Privacy where they really are on, and correct the domain status. The score is a prompt to look, not a measurement of the item's real condition, so tick the boxes only when they are true.
