Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What is an SSL certificate?

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables encrypted connections. It's essential for HTTPS websites.

Q

How do I know if a certificate is valid?

The checker will show certificate validity, expiration date, and any issues. A valid certificate should not be expired, should match the domain, and should have a proper certificate chain.

Q

What are SANs?

SANs (Subject Alternative Names) are additional domain names covered by a single SSL certificate. They allow one certificate to secure multiple domains or subdomains.

Q

What happens when a certificate expires?

When an SSL certificate expires, browsers will show security warnings and users may not be able to access the site securely. Certificates should be renewed before expiration.
