Website uptime, page speed and domain monitoring service

StatusCake's changelog is half UI cleanup, half outage bulletins about other people's infrastructure.

uptime-monitoringalertingincident-visibilityui-consolidation
◆Current state
The product work in this window is interface consolidation on an established uptime monitor: a simple test-creation form promoted from a subset of users to everyone, with automatic fallback to the advanced form when advanced options are in play, and a reworked Test Details page that splits incidents, uptime, response time, and history into tabs and lands you on the current incident when a test is down. Pausing a test now cancels queued down alerts and ends repeat alert chains. Interleaved with these are posts that are not releases at all — running commentary on name.com DNS failures and Cloudflare outages. The feed's newest entry is from February 2026.
◆Where it's heading
Nothing here changes what StatusCake monitors or how; it changes how quickly an operator gets to the thing that broke. The alert-suppression work and the default-to-current-incident landing both target the same complaint, which is noise during an event. The outage bulletins are worth reading as positioning rather than product — the company narrating third-party failures is claiming the observer's seat. Six months without a product entry means the direction here cannot be confirmed from the feed.
◆Prediction
The stated multi-location regions rollout is the one concrete commitment in the window, and confirmation alerts across several locations is the obvious follow-on. Beyond that the feed is too stale to support a prediction.

◆Recent moves

    Simple Uptime Edit/Create now available for all users

    The simplified uptime test form goes from a limited rollout to every user and becomes the default for new checks, with automatic promotion to the advanced form when advanced options are already in use. It lowers the cost of the most repeated action in the product.

    Updated Test Details page

    The Test Overview page splits into tabs for incidents, uptime, response time, and history, and opens on the current incident when a test is down. Same data, arranged around the moment an operator actually visits the page.

    Pausing an uptime test will now cancel pending alerts

    Pausing an uptime test halts queued down alerts and terminates repeat alert chains, so maintenance windows stop generating pages. It is the same noise-reduction thread as the reworked details page, applied to notifications instead of the UI.

    Email Reporting Updates

    Scheduled email reports drop empty sections and tighten their layout so only sections with tests or warnings appear. Presentation work on an existing report.

    Global DNS issues for name.com provider

    An advisory that name.com DNS problems were producing genuine outage reports for affected customers, with a note that name.com had not acknowledged it. Customer communication during a third-party incident, not a product change.

    Cloudflare outage 05/12/25

    A short bulletin on a Cloudflare outage affecting customer sites and Cloudflare's own status page, updated on recovery. Incident commentary rather than a release.
