Error message

Description ​

Error message is a component for displaying error message on the page. Use it for global error messages. Global errors is a pattern for pages blocking the user from working with the website, and informing why the system can't display the content. This pattern is also related to server errors, limitations, etc.

Appearance ​

Composition, styles, and margins of the message:

• For an image in svg format use width: 240px, height: 240px, margin-right: 40px.
• For title use text with 36px size (--fs-700, --lh-700), --text-primary color and margin-bottom: 16px.
• For message text use text with 14px size (--fs-200, --lh-200), --text-primary color and margin-bottom: 24px.
• For CTA use buttons with L size (optional).
• Captcha (optional).

Margins ​

• Margin between the illustration and the message is 40px.
• Maximum width of the message is 640px. Top margin of the container with the message is 32px.

Positioning on the page ​

The message is centered horizontally and vertically. Give a container with an error message a relative height – height: 70vh.

Appearance on small screens ​

For screens less than 768px:

• change layout of the message to vertical;
• change illustration's size to 200px * 200px;
• change margin between the illustration and a message from 40px to 8px;
• stretch controls to the width of the content.

DNS Resolution Error ​

Illustration you can find in the inner Figma library.

Title

DNS resolution error

Message

You've requested a page on a website (cloudflarepreview.com) that is on the Cloudflare network. Cloudflare is currently unable to resolve your requested domain (cloudflarepreview.com). There are two potential causes of this:

• Most likely: if the owner just signed up for Cloudflare it can take a few minutes for the website's information to be distributed to our global network.

• Less likely: something is wrong with this site's configuration. Usually this happens when accounts have been signed up with a partner organization (for example, a hosting provider) and the provider's DNS fails.

  • Ray ID: {000000000000000}

  • Timestamp: {Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:00 GMT}

  • Your IP address: {84.52.114.132}

  • Requested URL: {example.url/foo}

  • Error reference number: 1001

  • Server ID: {FL_FOO}

  • User-Agent: {Example}

Global errors usage ​

When do we use it?

In case of an error defined by the HTTP state code.

• DNS resolution error (1xx)
• Access denied – Access request (403)
• Page not found, Project not found (404)
• Connection lost (408)
• Something went wrong (500, 520)
• Connection timed out (522)

In case of a state caused by security reasons:

• Blocked request
• Confirmation

Additional situations where the state blocks all content and restricts access to it:

• Your account has been deleted
• Project not found
• Under maintenance
• Your payment cannot be accepted

Use cases ​

There are two possible cases of the pattern's use:

• As a full-page for the whole website.
• As a state of the product.

For the whole website	In the product

Controls ​

1. If the error is processed by Cloudflare, we don't add buttons.
2. In other cases, it is recommended to add controls allowing the user: 2.1 to leave the page:" Go to homepage"; 2.2 to take some actions to get rid of this state and load the page: "Reload page" / "Try again" / "Submit".
3. The "Contact us" button is only used for unexpected error states. In order that the user could contact support and report that something isn’t working.
