StatusCake is an external monitoring platform that helps your team monitor websites, APIs, SSL certificates, domains, page speed, and servers. Create monitors for the services your customers rely on, choose how often StatusCake should run checks, and route alerts to the people responsible for responding.
StatusCake is built for teams that need clear monitoring without turning setup into a long sales process. Start with a website, API endpoint, SSL certificate, domain, or server, then expand your monitoring setup as your coverage grows.
StatusCake uptime monitoring checks whether websites, pages, and services are reachable and behaving as expected. A monitor can fail because a page is unavailable, returns the wrong status code, responds too slowly, has missing or unexpected content, or presents an SSL validation problem. This helps your team catch more than basic availability issues.
For website uptime monitoring, StatusCake supports HTTP and HTTPS checks, with additional test types available for services that need a different approach. Teams can monitor important URLs such as homepages, login pages, checkout pages, customer dashboards, pricing pages, documentation, help centers, API health endpoints, and other customer-facing pages.
StatusCake lets you choose check intervals based on the importance of each service. Use shorter check intervals for critical services such as login, checkout, APIs, and high-traffic pages. Use longer intervals for lower-priority pages where immediate response is less important. On paid plans, uptime checks can run as often as every 30 seconds, and Enterprise plans can support constant checks where the next check starts after the previous check completes.
Monitoring locations help your team understand whether an issue is local, regional, or wider. StatusCake can run checks from selected locations around the world, so your team can see whether a service is failing everywhere or only from specific regions. Confirmation servers can also be used to verify failures before alerts are sent, helping reduce unnecessary noise while keeping important issues visible.
StatusCake also supports content matching for pages where a successful response code is not enough. Your team can check whether an exact phrase or HTML snippet is present or missing in the page source. This is useful for login pages, checkout pages, confirmation pages, feature pages, and other pages where specific content proves the experience is working as expected.
SSL monitoring helps your team track certificate problems before they become customer-facing issues. StatusCake can validate SSL during uptime checks and can also monitor SSL certificates separately, helping teams avoid expired, invalid, or misconfigured certificates that could block customers or trigger browser warnings.
Domain monitoring helps your team track important domains before expiration or unexpected changes create business risk. This is useful for teams responsible for production domains, customer-facing websites, marketing sites, documentation domains, and services where missed renewals could take critical pages offline.
Page speed monitoring helps your team understand how key pages perform over time. Use it for pages where speed affects customer experience, conversion, or search visibility, such as homepages, landing pages, checkout pages, and product pages.
Server monitoring helps teams track infrastructure signals such as CPU, RAM, and disk usage. This gives your team another layer of visibility for services that depend on dedicated servers or infrastructure where resource thresholds matter.
Alerts can be routed through notification channels such as email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, webhooks, PagerDuty, Discord, and other supported tools. Notification groups let your team route alerts by responsibility, such as engineering, platform, payments, support, SSL and domains, or the team responsible for a specific service.
When a monitor starts failing, StatusCake gives your team context to understand what happened. Review status periods, individual check results, response status, monitoring location, SSL validation results, event timing, and recovery history. This helps your team understand whether an issue was continuous, intermittent, location-specific, SSL-related, or recovering over time.
StatusCake is product-led and self-serve. You can start monitoring without a sales call, then build StatusCake into deeper workflows through the app, API, SDKs, Terraform, notification groups, and alert routing. Start in the app, then scale through the workflows your team already uses.
StatusCake provides external monitoring for websites, APIs, SSL certificates, domains, page speed, and servers. It is not a full observability stack. Many teams use StatusCake alongside observability tools to monitor customer-facing behaviour from outside their infrastructure.
StatusCake has helped teams monitor critical services since 2012, and more than 220,000 customers have used StatusCake. It is built and supported by a team with experience across monitoring, networking, infrastructure, and customer support.
Use StatusCake if your team wants to monitor what matters, route alerts clearly, understand failures faster, and communicate service status with confidence through StatusCake Pages.
