these essential tools, it’s important to know what exactly SSL monitoring is.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) monitoring is the process of</span><b> continuously checking the validity, expiration, and proper functioning of SSL certificates</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on a website to provide secure and encrypted connections between the server and users’ browsers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This monitoring method helps to detect potential vulnerabilities, prevent certificate expiration, and maintain trust by ensuring that sensitive data is transmitted securely.</span></p> <p><span class="notion-enable-hover" spellcheck="false" data-token-index="0"> <div id="intext-sidebar" class="ur-intext-sidebar"> <div

and online service. Without it, you can lose customers, profits, and even your position in search engine rankings. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But which SSL certificate monitoring service is the best? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are many tools on the market offering many different types of monitoring, and we’ve done all the research for you and made a list of the top dogs in the industry.</span></p> <h2>Why is SSL monitoring important</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SSL certificate monitoring is needed to maintain</span><b> the security and trustworthiness</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of your website. SSL certificates ensure that communication between your website and its visitors is encrypted and secure, protecting sensitive data like passwords, credit card information, and personal details.</span></p> <p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="alignnone wp-image-1119 size-full" data-src="https://uptimerobot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/blog-quote-template-01.png" alt="84% of users would abandon a purchase if the connection is not secure." width="1164" height="594" data-srcset="https://uptimerobot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/blog-quote-template-01.png 1164w, https://uptimerobot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/blog-quote-template-01-300x153.png 300w, https://uptimerobot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/blog-quote-template-01-1024x523.png 1024w, https://uptimerobot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/blog-quote-template-01-768x392.png 768w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1164px) 100vw, 1164px" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, simply having an SSL certificate isn’t enough – monitoring its status is equally important to avoid potential security risks and operational disruptions.</span></p> <h3>Proactive alerts vs. reactive responses</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to SSL monitoring, different services offer varying levels of coverage:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Proactive monitoring: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some monitoring services provide proactive alerts, warning you well before your SSL certificate is set to expire. This gives you ample time to renew the certificate without risking downtime or exposing your users to insecure connections.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Reactive monitoring:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Other services may only alert you when the SSL certificate has already expired or when an issue has occurred. This reactive approach can leave your website vulnerable to attacks and can lead to loss of user trust.</span></li> </ul> <h3>Understanding SSL errors</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SSL errors can occur for a variety of reasons, and monitoring helps you identify and resolve these issues promptly:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Certificate expiration:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> One of the most common SSL errors is certificate expiration. If your SSL certificate expires without being renewed, your website will lose its secure status, and visitors may see a warning message that deters them from proceeding.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Mismatched domains</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Another frequent error occurs when the SSL certificate is not correctly configured to match the domain names it’s supposed to protect. This can happen if the certificate is issued for one domain but used on another, causing browsers to flag the connection as insecure.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Incomplete certificate chains:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Sometimes, the SSL certificate might not be properly installed, resulting in an incomplete certificate chain. This can prevent certain browsers from recognizing the certificate as valid.</span></li> </ul> <h3>SSL monitoring coverage</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like alerting, different SSL monitoring services offer different levels of coverage:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Basic monitoring: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">This typically includes checks for certificate expiration and mismatched domains. Alerts are sent when issues are detected, but the service may not provide detailed information about the cause or solution.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Comprehensive monitoring: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">More advanced services offer a broader range of checks, including monitoring for certificate revocation, checking for outdated encryption protocols, and checking that the certificate chain is complete and trusted by all major browsers.</span></li> </ul> <h4>Impact on SEO and user trust</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SSL certificates are not just about security. they also play a vital role in maintaining your website’s SEO performance and user trust. Search engines like Google favor websites with valid SSL certificates, ranking them higher in search results.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conversely, if your SSL certificate lapses or encounters issues, your site could be flagged as “Not Secure,” leading to a drop in search rankings and a potential loss of traffic.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What will happen if you miss an invalid SSL certificate?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ </span><b>Your visitors will see a warning</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: 84% of users won’t finish the purchase (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">source: GlobalSign.com</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ </span><b>You’ll lose trust and customers: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">78% of users would stop engaging with the brand if there was a security breach (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">source: PingIdentity.com</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ </span><b>You can’t accept credit card payments</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: every bank and fintech company will deny your merchant account.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ </span><b>Your website will be slower</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: owning an SSL certificate results in faster loading times, especially on mobile devices.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ </span><b>It can impact your <a href="https://mangools.com/blog/learn-seo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SEO</a> ranking negatively</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: more than </span><b>95% of traffic across Google</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is secured with an SSL certificate (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">source: Google’s Transparency Report</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In summary, SSL monitoring is an essential part of maintaining a secure, trustworthy, and high-performing website.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By proactively managing your SSL certificates and addressing any issues promptly, you’re giving your visitors a safe and seamless experience while also protecting your website’s reputation and search engine ranking.</span></p> <h2>How does an SSL certificate work?</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you visit a website with an SSL certificate, your browser and the website’s server establish an encrypted connection.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s how it works in simple terms:</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Initiation</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: When you connect to a website with an SSL certificate, your browser sends a request to the website’s server to establish a secure connection.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Certificate verification</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: The server responds by sending its SSL certificate to your browser. This certificate contains the server’s public encryption key and is issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Your browser checks the certificate to verify that it’s legitimate and issued by a CA that it trusts.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Session key creation</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: If the certificate is valid, your browser and the server create a session key, a short-lived encryption key used to encrypt and decrypt all the data exchanged during that session.

Certificate Expiry Monitor</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Available on GitHub, </span><b>Certificate Expiry Monitor</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a simple project that exports the expiration dates of SSL certificates to Prometheus – an open-source project used for monitoring and alerting. </span></p> <h4>16. SSL Certification Expiration Checker</h4> <p><b>SSL Certification Expiration Checker</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is simply a shell script you can run from a </span><b>cron job</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. After it reports on expiring SSL certificates, an e-mail will be sent through Nagios to warn you.</span></p> <h4>17. Zabbix</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zabbix is a versatile solution that keeps an eye on the performance and availability of <b>network servers, devices, and services</b>. It offers a well-rounded approach to monitoring, providing real-time data collection and sending alerts via email, SMS, or Jabber whenever critical thresholds are reached. </span></p> <h2>What happens when your SSL certificate expires?</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The expiration of an SSL certificate is not just a minor inconvenience; it can lead to a series of adverse outcomes that impact both the user experience and the website’s credibility. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s what can happen if you neglect your SSL certificates.</span></p> <h3>Browser warnings</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most immediate effect of an expired SSL certificate is the browser’s display of security warnings to visitors. This alert suggests that the connection is not secure, prompting many users to leave the site immediately to protect their data.</span></p> <h3>Loss of trust</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trust is a cornerstone of digital interactions. An expired SSL certificate signals neglect and can significantly erode users’ trust in your brand, leading to a loss of customer loyalty and potential revenue.</span></p> <h3>Impact on transactions</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For e-commerce sites, an expired SSL certificate is particularly detrimental. Modern web browsers may block transactions, or users may choose not to proceed with purchases due to security concerns, directly affecting your bottom line.</span></p> <h3>SEO penalties</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Search engines prioritize user security. An expired SSL certificate can result in lower search rankings, reducing your site’s visibility and leading to fewer visitors.</span></p> <h3>Vulnerability to attacks</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond the immediate impacts, an expired SSL certificate leaves your website more vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and data breaches, compromising user data and further damaging your reputation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Given these consequences, it’s clear that proactive SSL certificate monitoring and renewal are essential to maintaining the security, trustworthiness, and user experience of your website.</span></p> <h2>How to choose the right tool?</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider these rules of thumb when choosing an SSL certificate monitoring tool.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✅ </span><b>Don’t rely on SSL expiration monitoring only</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Your SSL monitoring tool should also cover updates and errors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✅ </span><b>Make sure you’re paying a reasonable price for what you get</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✅ </span><b>Monitor SSL certificates that renew automatically</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, they could have issues too.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✅ </span><b>Consider additional features and monitor types as a plus</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Monitoring other errors associated with your URL adds great value to your SSL monitoring.</span></p> <h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t settle for SSL expiration alerts only. Choose the best SSL certificate monitoring tool for the right price. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many tools only focus on the SSL expiration date, while UptimeRobot offers you much more for a better price. Starting from 10 monitors, you’ll get up to 12 notification integrations along with many other features – including </span><b>status pages</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and uptime monitoring.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start monitoring your SSL certificates for just </span><b>$7/month</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and see how simple yet effective it is.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a class="button" href="https://uptimerobot.com/ssl-monitoring/?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=top-SSL-monitors&utm_content=conclusion">Start SSL monitoring now</a></p> <h2>Frequently asked questions</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">See these FAQs for more information about SSL monitoring issues.</span></p> <h3>How do you check if an SSL certificate has expired?</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To check if an SSL certificate has expired, you can use online tools like SSL Checker or manually check by clicking the padlock icon next to the website’s URL in your browser. The certificate details will show the expiration date. Additionally, monitoring tools like UptimeRobot can automatically alert you before your SSL certificate expires.</span></p> <h3>How long does an SSL certificate last?</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An SSL certificate typically lasts between one to two years. The duration depends on the type of certificate purchased and the issuing Certificate Authority (CA). Some certificates may be valid for up to three years, but regular renewal is vital to maintain website security.</span></p> <h3>How to set up SSL certificate monitoring with UptimeRobot?</h3> <p>The SSL certificate monitoring is part of Website monitoring and can be enabled in any paid plan. Just enter your URL and under the “SSL certificate and Domain checks” tab enable “Check SSL error” and/or “SSL expiry reminders”.</p> <h3>How do I fix an SSL certificate expiry?</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To fix an expired SSL certificate, you need to renew it through your CA. Log in to your CA’s account, purchase a renewal, and follow their instructions to generate a new certificate. After renewal, install the new certificate on your server to restore secure connections.</span></p> <p><em><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: The information provided on this page is for informational purposes only.
