SSL Certificate Monitoring

SSL certificates keep your website secure, but they expire. Our SSL monitoring tool alerts you before expiration so you never have an unexpected security warning.

Why Monitor SSL Certificates?

SSL monitoring prevents these problems by alerting you in advance.

Setting Up SSL Monitoring

1. Go to Tools in the left menu
2. Click SSL Monitors
3. Click Add Domain
4. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com)
5. Click Save

We’ll immediately check your certificate and start monitoring.

What We Check

Each SSL check verifies:

Expiration Alerts

You’ll receive alerts at these intervals before expiration:

• 30 days before
• 14 days before
• 7 days before
• 1 day before

This gives you plenty of time to renew.

Understanding the Dashboard

Your SSL monitors show:

• Domain name - Which domain is being monitored
• Status - Valid, expiring soon, or expired
• Expires in - Days until expiration
• Last checked - When we last verified the certificate

Interpreting Results

Common SSL Issues

Certificate Not Trusted

• The certificate authority isn’t recognized
• Intermediate certificates are missing
• Self-signed certificates aren’t trusted by browsers

Domain Mismatch

• Certificate was issued for a different domain
• Subdomain not covered by the certificate
• Need a wildcard certificate

Weak Encryption

• Using outdated encryption standards
• Key size is too small
• Upgrade to modern TLS settings

Adding Multiple Domains

Monitor all your domains:

1. Add your main website
2. Add API subdomains
3. Add any other services with SSL

Each domain is checked independently.
