SSL Checker inspects a domain certificate so you can see validity, days until expiry, issuer, and encryption type before a marketing launch or certificate renewal window.
Enter a domain like example.com, click Start SSL check, and wait while the WordPress ajax path queries certificate details. Results appear in status-oriented fields on the page.
Output is operational guidance for administrators. It is not legal advice about compliance frameworks, and it does not replace continuous monitoring in production.
What SSL Checker does
Fetch and display SSL certificate details for a hostname.
- Domain name field with example placeholder
- Start SSL check action with checking state
- Status, validity, and days-until-expiry readouts
- Issuer (CA) and encryption type fields
- Network error messaging when the check fails
Who SSL Checker is for
- Site owners verifying HTTPS before go-live
- DevOps engineers validating renewals after Certbot runs
- Support teams answering 'is your cert expired?' tickets
- Agencies auditing client domains in bulk one host at a time
How to use SSL Checker
1. Open SSL Checker on beeforge.dev.
2. Enter the hostname in Domain name (without a full URL path if the field expects a host).
3. Click Start SSL check and wait for the checking state to finish.
4. Read Status, Validity, Days until expiry, Issuer, and Encryption type.
Features
- Server-side certificate inspection via wp-ajax
- Expiry countdown style days-left field
- Issuer visibility for CA confirmation
- Clear network error string on failure
- Fits incident checklists beside IP lookup
Examples
- Confirm a renewed Let's Encrypt certificate is live on the apex domain.
- Check days left on a client shop domain before a holiday campaign.
- Compare issuer fields after migrating from one CA to another.
Tips and limits
- Results are informational, not legal or compliance certification.
- CDN and load balancers may present different certs than origin; check the hostname users hit.
- SNI and multi-cert hosts can confuse naive checks; verify the exact name you typed.
- Automate monitoring for production; this UI is for on-demand inspection.

FAQ
Where does the SSL check run?
The browser calls a WordPress ajax endpoint that inspects the certificate on the server side. The target hostname is contacted as part of that check.
Is this a penetration test?
No. It reports certificate metadata such as validity and issuer. It is not a full security assessment.
Why network error?
The host may be unreachable, DNS may fail, or the proxy path may be temporarily unavailable. Confirm the domain and retry.
Does it check CAA or CT logs?
Focus is certificate validity details shown in the UI, not a full PKI audit suite.
Can I enter https:// URLs?
Prefer a bare hostname matching the domain field placeholder style if paths cause errors.
