## Overview

### Key benefits of StatusCake

One tool instead of five:
Uptime, page speed, SSL, domain and server monitoring sit in the same account, under the same alerting rules and the same billing. Most teams assembling this coverage otherwise run two or three separate products.

Fewer false alarms
Alerts are confirmed from up to three additional test locations before they fire. A regional network fault or a single slow response does not wake anybody up, which is what determines whether a team keeps paying attention to its alerts.

Catches the failures people forget:
An expired SSL certificate or a lapsed domain takes a site down as completely as a server outage, and neither is caught by uptime checks alone. Both are monitored by default, with warning well before expiry.

Checks as often as 30 seconds:
Business plans test every 30 seconds from multiple global locations. Shorter intervals mean shorter time to detection, which is the number that matters when availability is contractual.

Built to be automated:
A complete REST API means monitoring can be provisioned in the same pipeline that deploys the service. Nothing has to be added by hand, and nothing is forgotten when infrastructure changes.

Status pages your customers can trust:
Publish incidents on your own domain, with StatusCake branding removed. Telling customers what is happening reduces support load during an incident and is increasingly expected by enterprise buyers.

Suitable for regulated buyers:
UK-operated, with UK and EU GDPR support and documentation for vendor risk assessments, including organisations working through DORA obligations. Independent external monitoring is often exactly the evidence those programmes require.

Running since 2012:
StatusCake has monitored websites and infrastructure continuously for over a decade under the same ownership. For a service whose job is to be watching when something fails, longevity is a specification rather than a boast.

## Reviews

### "Great Website Performance Monitoring For Us" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *07 May 2020* | Public Policy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Statuscake has been a great and cost effective way for us to have website monitoring. We just need something that works well and tells us if site is down and what speed it loads at. Of course Statuscake does more...but that is our need set.
> 
> **Cons**: Not really. We are not technical so couldn't fully understand some of the advanced features we wouldn't try to use (no need).
> 
> Reliable, accurate website monitoring cheaper than other offerings.

### "Basic Uptime Monitoring Solution" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *19 April 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very easy to set up various tests (pinging a URL, HTTP, HEAD, SSH, etc) with basic auth, response, and other options. You get a nice uptime report with all of that too.
> 
> **Cons**: I do think the documentation can be a bit sparse if you are looking for specifics, but this rarely is an issue.
> 
> It's very easy to set up as an uptime monitoring tool and simple to monitor your configurations.

It brings five types of monitoring into one account, so teams do not need separate tools to watch availability, performance, certificates, domains and servers.\n\nUptime Monitoring: HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, DNS, SMTP, SSH and ping checks run from a global network of test locations, at intervals from five minutes on the free plan down to 30 seconds on Business plans. Confirmation testing from a second location before an alert is raised reduces false positives from transient regional faults. Maintenance windows suppress alerts during planned work.\n\nPage Speed Monitoring: Scheduled page load tests track render performance over time, so gradual degradation is visible before it affects conversion or search performance.\n\nSSL Monitoring: Certificate expiry, chain integrity, mixed content and configuration issues are checked automatically, with alerts well ahead of expiry. Expired certificates are one of the most common causes of avoidable downtime.\n\nDomain Monitoring: Domain expiry and registrar records are tracked so a renewal is never missed.\n\nServer Monitoring: An installed agent reports CPU, memory, disk and network metrics from the host itself, complementing the external checks.\n\nAlerting and Integrations: Alerts route to email, SMS, webhooks and 15+ integrations including Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Discord, Telegram and Zapier. Escalation and team-based routing are supported, and every plan above free includes SMS credits.\n\nStatus Pages: Public status pages communicate incidents to customers, hosted by StatusCake or on your own custom domain, with branding removed on paid plans.\n\nAPI and Automation: A documented REST API covers every object in the product, so monitors can be created, updated and removed programmatically. Teams managing large or frequently changing estates can provision monitoring as part of their deployment pipeline rather than by hand.\n\nAdministration: Sub-accounts and team members allow delegated access, with an audit log on Business plans and above. White-label and unbranded reporting is available for agencies and managed service providers reporting to their own clients.\n\nData Protection and Compliance: StatusCake is operated from the United Kingdom by TrafficCake Limited and supports customers with UK GDPR and EU GDPR obligations. Documentation is available for vendor risk and ICT third-party assessments, including for financial entities working through DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) programmes.\n\nWho is it for? Developers, agencies, managed service providers, e-commerce and SaaS teams, and in-house IT and operations functions. Plans start free with 10 uptime monitors, and scale through Superior (100 monitors at one-minute intervals) and Business (300 monitors at 30-second intervals) to Enterprise, which adds unlimited monitors, dedicated test locations, service level agreements and account reviews.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/4846a51c-dca7-4cac-9f1e-b0b537cf5330.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2108744/statuscake","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2108744/statuscake#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":3,"ratingValue":4.7},"offers":{"price":"24.99","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2108744/statuscake#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Website Monitoring Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/113/website-monitoring/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"StatusCake","position":3,"item":"/software/2108744/statuscake","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
