Why SSL Certificates Matter
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates are the backbone of internet security. They encrypt data transferred between a user's browser and the website they are visiting, ensuring that sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers remains private.
But simply having an SSL certificate isn't enough. You need to ensure it's:
- Valid: Not revoked by the issuer.
- Unexpired: Certificates have a limited lifespan (usually 1 year).
- Correctly Installed: The chain of trust must be complete.
Common SSL Issues
- Expiration: The most common issue. If your certificate expires, visitors will see a scary "Your connection is not private" warning.
- Chain Issues: If intermediate certificates are missing, some devices (especially older Android phones) won't trust your site.
- Mixed Content: Serving HTTP resources on an HTTPS page.
How to Check Your SSL Status
You can manually check some details by clicking the padlock icon in your browser address bar, but that doesn't give you the full technical picture.
For a comprehensive analysis, you should use a dedicated tool.
