Know what to look for

A few checks.
A lot more confidence.

You don’t need to be an SSL expert to understand your website’s connection.

01

A valid certificate

See who issued your certificate, the names it covers, and whether the chain and hostname checks pass.

02

Time to renew

Check the expiry date and remaining days so a missed renewal doesn’t interrupt your visitors.

03

HTTPS that adds up

Review redirects, HSTS and potential insecure resources in the page response, with clear notes where a check is unavailable.

What does an SSL certificate do?

A certificate helps a browser verify the website it connects to and establish an encrypted HTTPS connection. A valid certificate is one part of a secure website.

Why can a certificate check fail?

A certificate may have expired, cover a different hostname, or have an incomplete or untrusted chain. A connection failure can also mean the server is unavailable; it does not always mean SSL is missing.

Does a passed check guarantee my website is secure?

No. This tool checks the certificate and selected HTTPS behaviour. Keep your applications updated and review the rest of your website’s security separately.

What is mixed content?

Mixed content happens when an HTTPS page loads resources over unencrypted HTTP. We look for direct HTTP resource references in the page HTML we can retrieve. Resources added by scripts or other pages may need a browser check.

How fresh are the results?

The report shows the certificate scan time. A certificate report may be reused for up to 24 hours. After a recent certificate change, compare the displayed scan time with the time you made the change.

How do email reminders work?

After a successful certificate check, enter your email and confirm the link we send. Reminders begin seven days before expiry, at most once every three days. We check the certificate again before sending, and every reminder has a link to stop the emails. Reminders do not renew your certificate.

Can I check a private server?

This tool checks public domain names on the standard HTTPS port. It does not connect to localhost, private network addresses or custom ports.
