Website Monitoring Made Simple Since 2012

Β 

StatusCake is a website uptime monitoring platform founded in 2012. We help more than 200,000 users worldwide β€” from solo developers and SMEs to global enterprises and governments β€” to keep their websites and servers online. Our tools cover uptime monitoring, page speed monitoring, SSL monitoring, domain monitoring, and incident communication, giving you everything you need to spot problems before your users do.

With 2.6 billion checks every day and the most-downloaded Terraform provider in our industry (8.5M+ installs), StatusCake is trusted by teams of every size who need reliable, fast, and human-centred monitoring

Our Story

In 2012, after one too many product demos failed because the website was down, our founder James Barnes set out to build a better solution. Existing monitoring tools were overpriced, complex, or faceless. StatusCake was built to be different: powerful monitoring that’s easy to use and backed by real people.

Over the years, we’ve expanded beyond uptime monitoring to cover SSL expiry, domain health, and page speed β€” because downtime isn’t the only risk to your business. In 2015 we launched StatusCake Pages for incident communication, and in 2026 we’ll introduce ChangeCrab to help teams manage and communicate change more transparently.

Today, many customers integrate our monitoring directly into workflows using our API, SDKs, and Terraform provider, proving that advanced monitoring doesn’t need to come with friction.
