Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool check about an SSL certificate?
It checks validity status, expiry date, the certificate chain, domain-name match, and warns about self-signed or untrusted certificates.
What is the "certificate chain" and why does it matter?
The chain is the trust path from the site's certificate up to a trusted root authority. If intermediate certificates are missing, some browsers show errors.
What is wrong with a self-signed certificate?
Because it is not signed by a trusted authority, browsers do not trust it and warn the user; it is not suitable for a public site.
