StatusCake
StatusCake monitors website uptime, page speed, domain expiry, and SSL certificates, alerting teams the moment something goes wrong.
What is StatusCake?
StatusCake was founded in 2012 in London to fill a gap in the uptime monitoring market: a feature-rich website monitoring service that did not require enterprise pricing to get meaningful check frequency and alerting options. It quickly built a loyal user base among developers, agencies, and small businesses who wanted HTTP and SSL monitoring, page speed tests, domain expiry alerts, and virus scanning from a globally distributed probe network without paying for tools designed for large operations teams. Today it monitors millions of websites from probe servers across dozens of countries.
StatusCake occupies an interesting meta-position in the infrastructure ecosystem: it is a monitoring tool used to detect outages in other services. When StatusCake itself experiences degradation — particularly in its alerting delivery or probe reporting infrastructure — users face the unsettling situation of not knowing whether their monitored sites are actually up or whether StatusCake's reporting is simply not working. Teams that rely exclusively on StatusCake alerts for incident response may miss real outages during StatusCake degradation events, which is why StatusCake is one of the more actively discussed services in uptime monitoring communities.
StatusCake outages typically manifest as uptime checks running but alerts not being delivered via email, SMS, or webhook, the dashboard failing to load historical uptime data or current check results, probe check intervals appearing to pause with no new results being recorded, SSL expiry alerts not firing despite certificates approaching expiry, and the API returning errors for integrations that use StatusCake data in third-party dashboards or Slack notification workflows.
Outage.gg monitors StatusCake service status through community-submitted reports. If your alerts have gone quiet or the dashboard is not updating, check the live status page to confirm whether StatusCake is experiencing a platform-wide issue and subscribe to be notified when monitoring and alerting is fully restored.
