What Is an SSL Checker?
An SSL checker is a tool used to inspect the HTTPS
certificate installed on a website. It can help verify
whether a certificate is currently valid, whether the
certificate matches the requested hostname, and when
the certificate will expire.
Enter a domain name above to inspect the certificate
presented by its HTTPS server. ALVIX checks the
certificate directly and displays available certificate
information.
What Does an SSL Certificate Do?
An SSL/TLS certificate helps establish an encrypted
connection between a browser and a website. Modern
websites normally use HTTPS to protect data exchanged
between visitors and the server.
A certificate also contains information used to identify
the domain and the certificate authority that issued it.
Browsers use this information as part of the HTTPS
security process.
Why Is SSL Certificate Expiration Important?
SSL certificates have a defined validity period.
When a certificate expires, browsers and other clients
can display HTTPS security warnings and connections may
no longer be trusted as expected.
Checking the expiration date can therefore help website
owners identify certificates that need to be renewed
before they become invalid.
