How it works

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the connection between your website and its visitors. Without a valid SSL certificate, browsers show a "Not Secure" warning that drives visitors away. Our SSL checker verifies your certificate validity, HTTPS redirect, HSTS configuration, and TLS protocol version — all in seconds.

Results are available in seconds. No installation or server access required — we scan your website from the outside, just like an attacker would.

Frequently Asked Questions

It verifies your SSL certificate is valid and not expired, checks if HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS, validates HSTS headers, and ensures deprecated TLS versions (1.0, 1.1) are disabled.

A valid certificate alone is not enough. You also need an HTTP to HTTPS redirect, a Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header, and modern TLS configuration. Our scanner checks all of these.

Use Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org) for free, auto-renewing certificates. Most hosting providers (including Forge, cPanel, Plesk) offer one-click SSL installation.
