What is an SSL certificate?

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. It's essential for securing sensitive data transmitted between users and websites.

How do I check if my SSL certificate is valid?

You can check SSL certificate validity by entering your domain name in our SSL checker tool. It will show you the certificate status, expiration date, issuer, and any potential issues.

What happens when an SSL certificate expires?

When an SSL certificate expires, browsers will display security warnings to visitors, potentially blocking access to your site. This can significantly impact trust and traffic to your website.

How often should I check my SSL certificate?

It's recommended to check your SSL certificate at least monthly, and set up alerts 30-60 days before expiration to ensure timely renewal and avoid any service interruptions.
