SSL Checker

Check any website's SSL/TLS certificate: who issued it, when it expires, which hostnames it covers and whether browsers will trust it. Results come from a live connection to the site on port 443.

How to use the SSL Checker

  1. 1Enter a domain such as example.com (no need to type https://).
  2. 2Press Check SSL and we open a TLS connection and read the certificate.
  3. 3Review the verdict, the days until expiry and whether the hostname matches.
  4. 4Expand the chain to confirm intermediate certificates are being served.

What makes a certificate “valid”

Browsers trust a certificate when three things are true: it chains up to a trusted certificate authority, it has not expired, and it lists the hostname you visited (in the subject alternative names). This checker tests all three.

A certificate can look fine in your own browser yet fail for other visitors if the server forgets to send the intermediate certificate. The “Trusted chain” row catches that.

Why certificates expire so often

Public certificates have short lifetimes by design, which limits the damage if a private key leaks. Free certificates from Let's Encrypt last 90 days, and the industry is moving to even shorter maximum lifetimes over the next few years.

That makes automatic renewal essential. If this tool shows fewer than 14 days remaining on a site that should auto-renew, check that the renewal job is running and that port 80 or your DNS challenge is reachable.

TLS versions and ciphers

Modern sites should negotiate TLS 1.3, or at least TLS 1.2. Older protocol versions are disabled by current browsers. The protocol and cipher rows show what your server agreed to use for this connection.

Questions? Answers.

Is it safe to check any website?

Yes. The checker only performs a normal TLS handshake on port 443 (the same thing a browser does) and does not send any data to the site.

Why does the tool say the hostname does not match?

The certificate was issued for different names than the one you entered. A common cause is a certificate for example.com but not www.example.com, or a server sending its default certificate because the site is not configured for that name.

Can I check a site on a custom port or an IP address?

This tool checks public domain names on port 443 only. Private networks and IP addresses are blocked for security.

Does Devma include SSL with its plans?

Yes. Websites on our managed hosting plans and on Devma Hosting get free certificates that are issued and renewed automatically, and care plans monitor them.
