About StatusCake

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

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.
