What is an SSL certificate?

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection between a web server and browser.

How often should I check my SSL certificate?

You should check your SSL certificate regularly, ideally monthly, and set up monitoring alerts for expiration. Most certificates expire annually and need renewal before expiration to avoid security warnings.

What happens if my SSL certificate expires?

If your SSL certificate expires, browsers will display security warnings to visitors, potentially blocking access to your site. This can damage trust, reduce traffic, and negatively impact SEO rankings.

Why SSL Certificates Matter

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates encrypt data transmitted between your website and visitors, protecting sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers.

Search engines like Google also favor HTTPS websites, making SSL certificates important for SEO. An expired or missing SSL certificate can hurt your search rankings and display security warnings to visitors.
