SSL Certificate Checker

Check a domain's TLS certificate: who issued it, when it expires, how many days are left, which hostnames it covers, and whether the chain to a trusted root is intact. Catches the two failures that take a site down without warning — an expired certificate and a name it does not actually cover.

Server-assisted · we open a TLS connection to the host on port 443 and read back its certificate
Method & assumptions
  • This is a server-assisted tool: a browser cannot inspect a raw certificate, so our server completes a TLS handshake to the host on port 443 and reads back what it presents.
  • Only the host you enter is sent, and only to our server, which connects once. Nothing is stored.
  • Certificate validation is turned off for the read, on purpose — that is the only way to report an expired or mismatched certificate rather than just failing. The trust result above reflects standard validation separately.
  • Hostname coverage honours wildcard rules: *.example.com covers a.example.com, but not example.com or a.b.example.com.
