SSL Certificate Monitoring

An expired certificate turns your website into a browser warning page in a second. Siteload checks your certificate every day and reminds you in time - even when the automatic renewal silently stopped working.

Free, no credit card required

How it works

  1. Create a free account - no credit card needed.
  2. Add your https website - no file upload is needed for SSL monitoring.
  3. Press Start on the "SSL certificate" tab of the Automation page.
  4. We check the certificate every day and email you 14 and 3 days before it expires, when it has expired and when browsers stop trusting it.

What you get

  • Daily check of the certificate your website serves
  • Reminders 14 and 3 days before the expiration
  • An email when the certificate has expired
  • An email when browsers stop trusting it: broken chain, wrong domain, self-signed
  • Each reminder once per certificate - a renewed certificate starts over
  • Expiration date, days left and issuer on your dashboard

Frequently asked questions

My certificate renews automatically. Do I need monitoring?

Automatic renewal is exactly what breaks silently: a changed DNS record, a firewall rule, a full disk or a web server that was not reloaded. The reminder 14 days before the expiration means the renewal didn't happen when it should have.

What does "not trusted by browsers" mean?

The certificate is valid by date, but browsers still show a warning: the intermediate certificate is missing, the certificate doesn't cover the domain (e.g. www) or it is self-signed. Our free SSL checker shows the exact reason.

Will I get reminders for short-lived certificates?

Certificates valid for 30 days or less are renewed automatically every few days, so we don't send "expires soon" reminders for them. You still get an email if such a certificate expires or stops being trusted.

Do I need to confirm that the website is mine?

No. A certificate check is one secure connection a day and the certificate is public anyway, so ownership confirmation is needed only for load tests and uptime monitoring.
