How to use SSL Certificate Checker
Use the SSL Certificate Checker to confirm that a domain has a valid HTTPS certificate, trusted issuer, and sensible expiration date. It is useful for website launches, migration checks, uptime reviews, and troubleshooting browser warnings caused by expired or misconfigured certificates.
Step 1: Enter the HTTPS hostname
Use the exact domain users type in the browser, including subdomain if the cert is name-specific.
Step 2: Review certificate details
Check issuer, validity dates, and whether the certificate matches the hostname you entered.
Step 3: Fix before expiry
Renew or replace certificates early, and confirm the full chain is served by your web server or CDN.

Practical tips
- Set calendar reminders 14–30 days before certificate end dates.
- After renewals, purge CDN caches if old certs are still edge-served.
- Hostname mismatch often means you certified example.com but traffic hits www.example.com.
