Dealing With Website Downtime

statuscake

Whether you’re a blogger, a small business or a large corporate organisation there are times when, no matter how many precautions you take, your website goes down.

Website downtime is not only a killer of your reputation, but of revenue as well.  Anyone who finds you website down may not only click away never to return, but may tell their friends and colleagues as well.

At StatusCake.com we think it’s important that when your website goes down you’re the first to know.  Our website monitoring tools alert you the minute we find a problem with your website.

Quick and easy to use, you can have StatusCake up-and-running in seconds; no installation required.  Simply add the websites you’d like to be monitored and then set how you’d like downtime alerts to be sent to you.

We believe that being alerted to downtime is all about ensuring that you get the alerts how you want them, in the most convenient manner.  So if you’re away from your computer most of the day and don’t have access to email, then why not choose an SMS alert or a push notification?

There are all manner of ways to get alerts – email, Twitter, SMS as well as third party apps such as Pushbullet, Boxcar and Pushover.  You can also integrate StatusCake with services such as PagerDuty, Zapier and HipChat – and we’re adding more and more ways of making StatusCake easier to use all the time.

Whether you’re looking for free website monitoring, or a more feature rich monitoring experiencing with more regular checks there’s a StatusCake plan for you; and if you have any questions the StatusCake team are always here to help you.

Beyond Uptime: Building a Self-Healing OpenClaw Observability Stack

3 min read The allure of OpenClaw is undeniable.

When AWS us-east-1 Fails, Much of the Internet Fails With It

7 min read There are cloud outages, and then there are us-east-1 outages. That distinction matters because failures in AWS’s Northern Virginia region rarely feel like ordinary regional incidents. They tend instead to expose something larger and more uncomfortable: too much of the modern internet still behaves as though one place is an acceptable concentration point for infrastructure,

In the Age of AI, Operational Memory Matters Most During Incidents

7 min read Artificial intelligence is making software easier to produce. That much is already obvious. Code that once took hours to scaffold can now be drafted in minutes. Boilerplate, integration logic, tests, refactors and small internal tools can be generated with startling speed. In some cases, even substantial pieces of implementation can be assembled quickly enough to

AI Didn’t Kill the SDLC. It Made It Harder to See

10 min read Whilst AI has compressed the visible stages of software delivery; requirements, validation, review and release discipline have not disappeared.
