SSL Certificate Checker

Verify SSL validity, expiration date, and trust chain.

SSL Checker — Is That Certificate Healthy?

An expired SSL certificate takes a site offline with a scary browser warning — and it happens to everyone eventually. Enter any domain and this free checker connects to it, reads its live certificate, and reports the issuer, validity dates and days remaining.

Because certificates can only be inspected by connecting to the server, the check runs on our server — just enter the domain and the results appear in seconds. No signup, no software to install.

Expiry and issuer details

See exactly when the certificate expires, who issued it, and how many days of validity remain — the three facts that matter most.

Catch renewals before they lapse

The days-remaining count and validity bar make it obvious when a renewal is due, so you can act before visitors see a warning.

How it works

Our server opens a TLS connection to the domain on port 443 and reads the certificate the server presents — the same certificate your browser sees. Enter the domain, get the facts.

How to use

  1. Enter the domain name (e.g. example.com).
  2. Click Check SSL.
  3. Review the issuer, validity dates and days remaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool check?

It connects to the domain over TLS and reads the live SSL certificate: the issuing authority, the valid-from and expiry dates, and whether the certificate is currently valid.

Why does the check run on your server?

A certificate can only be read by connecting to the site's server, which browsers do not allow a web page to do directly. Our server makes the connection for you and returns the results.

What happens if a certificate expires?

Visitors see a full-page security warning and most will leave. Renew the certificate with your provider or CA immediately — automated renewal with short-lived certificates prevents this.

Can I check subdomains?

Yes. Enter the full subdomain, like shop.example.com — each subdomain can have its own certificate with its own expiry date.

Is this free?

Yes. Unlimited checks with no signup required.
