# SSL certificate checker

Check that a website's certificate is valid, trusted, covers the right names and is not about to expire.

## How it works

1.

### Enter a domain

Type the website address, for example example.com or www.example.com.

2.

### We connect over TLS

Our server opens a secure connection to the website on port 443, exactly like a browser, and reads the certificate it presents.

3.

### See the verdict

Issuer, dates, days left, the names it covers, whether the chain is trusted and which TLS version was used.

## SSL checker: questions and answers

###

The usual causes are an expired certificate, a certificate for a different name (for example only www), a missing intermediate certificate, or pages that load images and scripts over http://. This checker shows the first three.
