SSL/TLS Check¶
Checks your domain's HTTPS setup with a real TLS handshake to port 443.
| Check | What is checked |
|---|---|
| Certificate validity | Is the certificate issued by a trusted CA and is the chain complete? Self-signed or expired certificates ⇒ fail. |
| Expiry date | Remaining validity: ≥ 30 days ok, < 30 days warn, < 14 days or expired fail. |
| TLS version | Negotiated version: TLS 1.3/1.2 ok, TLS 1.1/1.0 warn, SSLv3 fail. |
| HSTS | Strict-Transport-Security header: max-age ≥ 1 year ok, shorter or missing warn. |
| HTTP redirect | Does http:// cleanly redirect to https:// (301/302/307/308)? |
The certificate chain in detail¶
Vernax shows the complete chain from the leaf certificate to the root CA certificate from the system trust store — with issuer, algorithm, validity period and, for ECDSA certificates, the real signature values (r, s) and the public key.
Explain mode: cryptography you can touch
The explain mode shows, using your own certificate as an example, how a signature chain works — including the actual hex values from the handshake. Not textbook examples, but your data.
