StatusCake.com already has one of the largest selections of downtime alert notification methods known to the website monitoring industry – but that does not mean we should relax and stop adding great ways to get the message to you that your website is down.
Today we are happy to announce the release of our Google Chrome extension. With the StatusCake Alert Extension you can instantly be notified if your site goes down – right in the browser.
The extension makes use of the StatusCake API so you will need to get your API Key from your account page to be able to use it – but once you are set-up you’re good to go.
For those who might be concerned about the privacy of a browser plugin – don’t worry. We only get to see what you do on StatusCake.com and quite frankly that is all we care about!
So how do you go about installing the Chrome extension? Well first make sure you are using Chrome – then just navigate your way towards the Chrome Web Store where you can download the extension for free.
We look forward to hearing your comments on the Extension and welcome feedback via the Chrome Web Store.

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,
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
10 min read Whilst AI has compressed the visible stages of software delivery; requirements, validation, review and release discipline have not disappeared. They have been pushed into automation, runtime and governance. The real risk is not that the lifecycle is dead, but that organisations start acting as if accountability died with it.
