SSL/TLS certificates encrypt communications between browsers and servers, establishing trust and protecting sensitive data. Our free SSL inspector performs a full analysis of your certificate configuration, including validity, chain of trust, protocol versions, cipher suites, and security headers to ensure your website is properly secured.

Everything you need to know about ssl certificate inspector
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables encrypted connections. Modern certificates use TLS (Transport Layer Security), the successor to SSL. They ensure data transmitted between users and websites remains private and integral.
Our SSL inspector shows your certificate's exact expiration date. Certificates typically expire after 1 year and must be renewed. Vysiro monitors your certificates continuously and sends alerts 30, 14, and 7 days before expiration to prevent outages.
Your server should support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, and disable older protocols (TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0) which have known vulnerabilities. TLS 1.3 offers the best performance and security with faster handshakes and stronger cipher suites.
The certificate chain of trust connects your server's certificate to a trusted root Certificate Authority (CA) through one or more intermediate certificates. If any link in the chain is missing or invalid, browsers will show security warnings to visitors.
HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) is a security header that tells browsers to always connect using HTTPS, preventing downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking. Enable HSTS with a long max-age and includeSubDomains for full protection.
Yes, free certificates from Let's Encrypt provide the same encryption strength as paid certificates. The difference is in validation level (DV vs OV vs EV), warranty, and support. For most websites, a free DV certificate is perfectly adequate.
