Modern HTTPS connections

HTTPS uses TLS for:

  • encrypting traffic

  • protecting user data

  • verifying website authenticity

Why SSL Matters

SSL/TLS affects not only security but also overall website operation.

Area

Impact

Security

Data encryption

SEO

HTTPS is a ranking signal

Browsers

Security warnings when HTTPS is missing

User Trust

Protection of forms and authentication

APIs and Integrations

Many services require HTTPS

An expired or misconfigured certificate may cause browsers to block access to the website.

Practical Recommendations

  • Use TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3

  • Configure automatic certificate renewal

  • Verify SSL after migrations and CDN changes

  • Monitor mixed content issues

  • Use HTTPS across all website pages

Tool Description

alien

Checking the SSL certificate helps ensure that the connection to the site is secure. SSL encryption protects user data and affects the site's ranking in search engines.

The tool analyzes the correctness of certificate installation, checks its validity period, and compliance with modern security standards.

Regular SSL checking is necessary for website owners to prevent errors in data transfer and ensure user privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

An SSL certificate encrypts data between your website and visitors' browsers, ensuring secure communication. It's essential for protecting sensitive information, increasing trust, and improving SEO rankings.

Our tool checks certificate validity, expiration date, issuer information, encryption strength, certificate chain, and identifies common SSL issues like mixed content or certificate mismatches.

Check your SSL certificate monthly and set up expiration alerts. Many certificates expire annually or biennially. Automatic renewal is recommended to prevent service disruption.

Immediately renew or replace the certificate. Contact your hosting provider or certificate authority. Until the issue is resolved, visitors will see security warnings, which can undermine trust and SEO rankings.

Yes, services like Let's Encrypt provide free SSL certificates. Many hosting providers offer automatic SSL installation and renewal. Free certificates provide the same encryption as paid ones for most use cases.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the predecessor to TLS (Transport Layer Security). While the term SSL is still widely used, TLS technology is actually in use today, offering improved security.

Mixed content occurs when an HTTPS page loads resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) over HTTP. This compromises the page's security, as unencrypted resources can be intercepted or tampered with, and browsers will display security warnings.

A Wildcard SSL certificate secures the main domain and all its unlimited subdomains (e.g., *.example.com). This is a cost-effective and convenient solution for websites with many subdomains.
