Check an SSL certificate and its expiry
We connect to your site over HTTPS like a browser does and read the certificate itself: who issued it, when it expires, whether it covers your hostname and whether browsers trust it.
We never ask for your email or phone to show a result.
What we verify
Validity & days left
Exact start and end dates. Let's Encrypt certificates last 90 days and usually renew automatically 30 days before expiry.
Browser trust
Is the chain complete and signed by a trusted authority? An incomplete chain works in one browser and fails in another or in mobile apps.
Hostname match
Does the certificate cover the exact name you entered (with or without www, or a *. wildcard)?
Encryption & redirect
TLS version and key type, and whether http:// visits are redirected to https://.
A valid certificate is not a fully secure site
- SSL encrypts the connection only; it does not protect against theme or plugin vulnerabilities or weak passwords.
- If fewer than 14 days remain on an auto-renewing certificate, renewal is probably failing — check DNS or hosting.
- A "name mismatch" usually means the certificate covers only www or only the bare domain.
- Sites behind Cloudflare show Cloudflare's certificate; your origin server's certificate is separate.
FAQ
Is SSL free with your hosting?
Yes. Every hosting plan includes free SSL issued and renewed automatically for each domain and subdomain. Sectigo OV, EV and Wildcard certificates are available as paid add-ons.
The certificate is valid but the browser says "Not secure"?
Usually mixed content: images or scripts loaded over http inside an https page. Switch those URLs to https.
DV vs OV vs EV?
DV validates domain ownership only (fine for most sites and stores). OV and EV validate the company itself, which some clients and agencies require.
Do you store the results?
We ask for no personal data. Results are cached for a few minutes only to speed up re-checks.
Tired of renewing certificates by hand?
Our hosting issues and renews SSL automatically for all your sites, with paid Sectigo certificates when you need them.
