StatusCake

StatusCake is a hosted monitoring service that checks your websites and servers from multiple global locations. It covers the basics like uptime monitoring with configurable check intervals down to 30 seconds, but also includes performance tracking via its Page Speed tool, SSL certificate expiry alerts, and domain expiration monitoring. You can set up status pages that display live uptime data to your users. The platform integrates with Slack, Telegram, PagerDuty, and many other alerting channels. There is a generous free tier that supports up to five uptime checks and a status page, which makes it a practical choice for small projects or staging environments. Paid plans add more checks, shorter intervals, and advanced features like multi-step API monitoring. StatusCake is developed by the UK-based company StatusCake Ltd and has been operating since 2013. It competes with services like UptimeRobot and Pingdom, but stands out for the number of included features on its free plan and a straightforward pricing model.
