Website monitoring for uptime, page speed and domains.
#7 of 7 in Website Monitoring by Overall Score
StatusCake monitors website uptime alongside page speed, domain expiry, SSL certificates, and server health. Its StatusCake Pages feature publishes service status for customers, while alert integrations can route detected incidents into tools including Slack, Discord, Opsgenie, Telegram, Datadog, and Pushover.
StatusCake uptime checks can look beyond a successful HTTP status by matching response text and checking redirects, headers or an expected destination URL. Its separate SSL monitoring can issue alerts ahead of certificate expiration. Paid monitoring adds control over testing geography, making it possible to investigate location-specific outages instead of treating all probes as one undifferentiated pool.
Calculated from facts we verified on StatusCake's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 50 that orders our lists.
