SSL certificate monitoring that catches expiry before your users do
Uptura tracks the expiry, issuer, and TLS health of every certificate across all your sites — and alerts your team weeks before anything lapses. No more scrambling because a cert expired over the weekend.

Why it matters
An expired certificate takes your whole site down
A lapsed SSL certificate doesn't slow a site — it stops it. Traffic, signups, and checkouts halt the moment the browser refuses to trust your domain. Monitoring SSL certificate expiration is the difference between a calm renewal and an outage.
100%
of visitors are blocked
The instant a certificate expires, browsers throw a full-page security warning and stop people reaching your site.
Weekends
are when certs quietly lapse
Expiry dates rarely land on a convenient Tuesday. Without monitoring, you find out from an angry customer.
Dozens
of certs per team to track
Between client sites, subdomains, and internal tools, manually remembering renewal dates simply doesn't scale.
What we monitor
Everything an SSL certificate monitoring tool should watch
Uptura goes beyond a one-off expiry check. It watches the full health of every certificate so nothing about your TLS setup breaks quietly.
Expiry countdown & renewal alerts
Track the exact expiry date of every certificate and get alerted 30, 14, 7, and 1 days out — so a renewal never slips past you.
Issuer & certificate chain
Watch the issuing CA and the full chain of trust. If an intermediate goes missing or the issuer changes unexpectedly, you'll know immediately.
Multi-domain & SAN coverage
Monitor wildcard and SAN certificates across every hostname they cover, so no subdomain is left silently unprotected.
TLS version & protocol health
Flag weak protocols and outdated TLS versions before a scanner — or a customer's browser — starts throwing security warnings.
Revocation & validity checks
Confirm each certificate is valid, active, and not revoked on every check — not just that a certificate happens to be present.
Unified alerting
Route certificate warnings to email, Slack, or Discord alongside your uptime and DNS alerts — one stream, no separate tool to check.
How it works
Set it once, then stop thinking about renewals
SSL expiry monitoring shouldn't be a chore. Point Uptura at your domains and it handles the watching from there.
- 1
Add your domains
Point Uptura at the sites and endpoints you manage. It discovers the certificate on each hostname automatically — no agents, no manual cert uploads.
- 2
We check on a schedule
Uptura inspects each certificate around the clock, reading its expiry date, issuer, chain, and TLS configuration on every run.

You get alerted early
The moment a certificate nears expiry or something about it changes, we notify your team — with enough lead time to renew calmly, not in a fire drill.
One platform
SSL is just one signal Uptura watches
A certificate is only healthy if the site behind it is too. Uptura pairs SSL certificate monitoring with uptime, DNS, SEO, performance, accessibility, and more — so every part of a website's health lives in one dashboard and one alert stream.
Uptime Monitoring
Minute-by-minute checks from multiple regions catch outages the instant they happen — before your customers do.
DNS Monitoring
Watch DNS records for unexpected changes, misconfigurations, and propagation issues in real time.
API & EndpointSoon
Test REST endpoints for status codes, latency, and JSON validity — and watch business-critical endpoints separately.
SEO Monitoring
Catch metadata, canonical, robots.txt, and sitemap regressions that quietly tank rankings — the moment they ship.
Core Web VitalsSoon
Track LCP, CLS, and INP over time with Lighthouse scans, and get alerted when performance regresses.
Synthetic & Forms
Run scripted checks on logins, checkouts, and contact forms so broken user journeys never go unnoticed.
Visual RegressionSoon
Capture daily screenshots and highlight visual differences between deployments before anyone else spots them.
AccessibilitySoon
Continuous WCAG and Axe scans with historical reports, so accessibility regressions get caught — not shipped.

FAQ
SSL certificate monitoring, answered
What is SSL certificate monitoring?
SSL certificate monitoring is the practice of continuously checking the SSL/TLS certificates on your websites for expiry, misconfiguration, issuer changes, and validity. Instead of remembering renewal dates manually, a monitoring tool inspects each certificate on a schedule and alerts you before anything lapses — so visitors never hit a browser security warning.
How do I monitor SSL certificate expiration?
The reliable way is to have a tool check each certificate's expiry date automatically and warn you well ahead of the deadline. With Uptura you add your domains once, and it tracks the exact expiry date of every certificate, sending alerts 30, 14, 7, and 1 days before expiry across all your sites at once.
How can I check when an SSL certificate expires?
You can check a single certificate's expiration date in a browser by clicking the padlock and viewing the certificate details, or with a command-line tool like openssl. That works for one site on one day — but to keep dozens of certificates from expiring, you need continuous SSL expiry monitoring that watches every domain and alerts you automatically.
How can I continuously monitor SSL certificates across many sites?
Continuous monitoring means every certificate you manage is re-checked on a schedule, not just when you remember to look. Uptura is built for exactly this: agencies and teams add all their client and internal domains, and every certificate is watched side by side in one dashboard with a single alert stream.
Is there a free SSL monitoring tool?
Some tools offer limited free SSL checks for a handful of domains. Uptura is launching with SSL certificate monitoring as part of a complete website operations platform — join the waitlist for early access and founding-user pricing when it goes live.
What happens when an SSL certificate expires?
When a certificate expires, browsers show a full-page security warning and block access to the site, which halts traffic, signups, and sales instantly. Search engines and integrations may also stop trusting the site. SSL expiry monitoring exists to make sure that moment never arrives unannounced.
