Free SSL Certificate Checker — See Expiry, Issuer, SANs for Any Domain

What I Built

SSL Certificate Checker — enter any domain, get full SSL certificate details.

What it shows:

  • Validity status — Valid, Expiring Soon, or Expired
  • Days remaining until expiry
  • Issuer — who issued the certificate (Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, etc.)
  • Protocol — TLS 1.2 or 1.3
  • Key size — 256-bit, 2048-bit, etc.
  • Serial number and fingerprint
  • Subject Alternative Names (SANs) — all domains covered by the cert

How it works:

The API opens a raw TLS connection to the target domain, extracts the peer certificate, and returns all the details. No HTTP request needed — it checks the actual TLS handshake.

Use cases:

  • Check if your SSL is about to expire
  • Verify cert issuer after migration
  • Debug SSL issues (wrong SANs, expired certs)
  • Audit third-party domains

Try It
