About

StatusCake is a feature-rich website monitoring solution designed to keep businesses online and performing at their best. With monitoring checks as frequent as every 30 seconds from over 30 global locations, StatusCake ensures you're always the first to know when something goes wrong. Its uptime monitoring watches your site around the clock and fires instant alerts the moment downtime is detected. The page speed monitoring tool identifies bottlenecks that affect Core Web Vitals, SEO rankings, and conversion rates. Domain monitoring tracks expiration dates so you never lose your online identity, while SSL monitoring prevents trust-damaging certificate lapses before they happen. Server monitoring keeps an eye on CPU, RAM, and disk usage against custom thresholds, making it invaluable for DevOps teams. StatusCake is built for collaboration, offering team-based workflows, status pages, and a rich integrations suite for notification channels. Plans scale from a generous free tier suitable for individuals and small businesses, up to fully custom Enterprise plans with dedicated monitoring locations, SLAs, and Google SSO. A 7-day free trial is available on all paid plans with no credit card required, making StatusCake accessible to startups and large enterprises alike.
