SSL Certificate Validator

Check SSL/TLS certificate validity and details.

Last validated: Pending

SSL Certificate Validator checks certificate validity, expiration, key strength, and certificate-chain health for HTTPS endpoints or PEM certificates. A TLS certificate binds a public key to one or more names, usually listed in the Subject Alternative Name extension, and is trusted only when it chains through intermediate certificates to a trusted root authority. Expiration dates define the validity window, issuer fields identify who signed the certificate, and key type and size affect cryptographic strength. Chain errors, missing intermediates, hostname mismatch, weak algorithms, or impending expiration can break secure connections even when the server appears online. Use this tool before deployment and during routine audits, while confirming production behavior from the actual hostname and serving path.

💡 Certificate Management Tips

  • ✓ Monitor certificate expiration 90+ days in advance
  • ✓ Use minimum 2048-bit RSA keys (4096 bits is better)
  • ✓ Prefer SHA-256 signatures over SHA-1
  • ✓ Validate the full certificate chain before deployment
  • ✓ Auto-renew certificates before expiration to avoid downtime

How to use this tool

  1. Paste a PEM-formatted SSL certificate or enter a domain name.
  2. Review certificate details, chain validation status, and any warnings.
  3. Plan renewal or remediation if issues detected in the report.
