What is an SSL/TLS Certificate Checker?
An SSL/TLS Certificate Checker verifies the authenticity, validity period, issuer chain, signature algorithm, and hostname matching of the SSL certificate installed on any server. It helps prevent browser warnings, security breaches, and HTTPS service disruptions by monitoring certificate expiration dates.
Key Verification Criteria
Certificate ValidityEnsures the certificate is active, not yet expired, and issued by a trusted Certificate Authority.
Hostname VerificationValidates wildcard and SAN entries to prevent hostname mismatch warnings.
HSTS & FingerprintsInspects HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprints.
