Free SSL Checker
Verify Your SSL Certificate in Seconds

Enter your domain name in the SSL checker tool at the top of this page and click “Check SSL.” The tool connects from our Mumbai server, retrieves your certificate from your web server, and verifies it against trusted certificate authorities. Results appear in under 5 seconds showing your certificate validity, expiry date, issuer, and chain status. No login or registration required.

Use the free SSL checker above — enter your domain and your certificate’s exact expiry date appears in the result along with a countdown of days remaining. You can also check it directly in Chrome by clicking the padlock icon in the address bar, then “Certificate is valid.” For ongoing monitoring, enter your email in the reminder box that appears after you check — we will alert you 30 days before your SSL certificate expires so you never deal with a surprise expiry again.

When your SSL certificate expires, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari immediately display a full-page “Your connection is not private” warning to every visitor. Your website does not go offline but becomes effectively unusable — research shows that over 85% of users leave immediately when they see this warning and do not return. For an eCommerce store or service business, every minute with an expired certificate means lost customers and lost revenue. Renew immediately from your hosting control panel. If your host doesn’t make this easy, it may be time to switch to a host that auto-renews certificates.

SSL certificates do not transfer between hosting providers — this is the most common SSL problem after migration. After migrating, your new host must issue a fresh certificate for your domain. To fix it: first confirm your DNS has fully propagated to the new host (this can take up to 24–48 hours). Then log into your new host’s control panel, find the SSL or Security section, and install a free Let’s Encrypt certificate for your domain. On Hostinger’s hPanel this takes under 2 minutes. On Cloudways, SSL is automatically provisioned within minutes of adding your domain. If the problem persists after 48 hours, check our SSL checker above — it will tell you exactly what is wrong.

Based on our independent testing with real paid accounts: Cloudways, Kinsta, and Hostinger all auto-renew Let’s Encrypt certificates automatically with no manual action required. BigRock does not auto-renew on all shared hosting plans — this is the most common reason Indian website owners experience repeated SSL expiry problems. HostArmada and MilesWeb auto-renew on most plans. For a full comparison of SSL handling, uptime, and TTFB across 7 Mumbai-based hosts, see our India Hosting Report Card.

If the SSL certificate is valid but your browser still shows “Not Secure,” the cause is almost always mixed content — some resources on your page (images, scripts, or CSS files) are still loading over HTTP instead of HTTPS. Even one insecure resource triggers the browser warning. For WordPress sites, install the free Really Simple SSL plugin which detects and converts all HTTP links automatically. For non-WordPress sites, search your source code for any URLs beginning with “http://” and change them to “https://.” The SSL certificate itself is not the problem.

Yes. Google confirmed HTTPS as a ranking signal in 2014 and has strengthened this signal consistently. An active, valid SSL certificate is now a baseline requirement for ranking well in Indian Google search results. However, simply having SSL is not enough — the TLS handshake time also contributes to Core Web Vitals through TTFB (Time to First Byte). A Mumbai-based host delivering 200–300ms TTFB scores significantly better than a Singapore or USA host delivering 500–900ms. Our SSL checker shows you the Mumbai TLS timing — if this is high, the fix is usually switching to a closer datacenter, not changing your SSL certificate.

Yes, completely free — no login, no registration, no hidden costs. You can check unlimited domains. The expiry reminder feature is also free. HostingGarage earns revenue through affiliate commissions when you purchase hosting plans via our links — we disclose this upfront on every page. Our SSL checker tool itself will always remain free.
