Self-hosted alternatives to StatusCake
StatusCake is a hosted monitoring service for website uptime, page speed, SSL certificates, domains and servers, with status pages and alerts. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features StatusCake describes on its own site.
