Frequently Asked Questions

An SSL/TLS certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. These certificates are essential for securing data transmitted between a user's browser and a web server. When a website has a valid SSL certificate, the connection is encrypted, and users see a padlock icon in their browser's address bar.

Checking SSL certificates is critical for security (ensuring encryption), trust (browser verification), preventing downtime (catching expirations early), compliance (meeting industry data standards), and SEO (HTTPS is a ranking factor).

Domain Validation (DV): Verifies domain ownership only. Fast & basic.
Organization Validation (OV): Verifies domain and organization details. Higher trust.
Extended Validation (EV): Highest level of verification. Maximum trust.
Wildcard: Secures domain and all subdomains.
Multi-Domain (SAN): Secures multiple different domains.

Contact your Certificate Authority or hosting provider to renew it. You may need to generate a new CSR. Install the new certificate *before* the old one expires to ensure uninterrupted service. Always verify the new installation with this tool.
