SSL / TLS check

Certificate validity, chain, hostname match and which TLS versions the server accepts.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my browser warn even though the certificate is valid?

Usually the server does not send its intermediate certificate, so some clients cannot build the chain to a trusted root. Check the 'Chain is complete' result and install the full chain on the server.

Should TLS 1.0 and 1.1 be disabled?

Yes. Both are deprecated and rejected by modern browsers. Keep TLS 1.2 and 1.3 enabled.

How early should I renew a certificate?

Renew at least 30 days before expiry. Certificates from Let's Encrypt and similar CAs last 90 days or less and should be renewed automatically.
