Overview

The SSL Certificate Check monitors your domain’s HTTPS security and warns you before certificates expire. An expired SSL certificate causes browsers to display security warnings, driving visitors away and hurting your search rankings. We handle everything automatically. Just toggle on SSL Check when starting a crawl—no configuration, credentials, or manual steps required.

Common Issues

Your certificate hasn’t been provisioned yet. This is common with new domains or recent DNS changes. Wait 5-10 minutes and try again.
We couldn’t reach your server. Check that your site is online and try again.
Your server isn’t accepting HTTPS connections. Ensure SSL is configured on your web server.
