Why SSL monitoring matters

The safety net your certificates need.

When SSL certificates fail

  • Browsers block access with scary security warnings
  • Trust signals disappear — users leave immediately
  • SEO rankings drop as Google flags insecure sites
  • API integrations break without warning
  • Renewal failures happen more often than expected

How PerkyDash protects you

  • Track every certificate expiry date in one dashboard
  • Validate full certificate chains automatically
  • Get early alerts — 30, 14, 7, and 3 days before expiry
  • Detect misconfigured intermediates before users see errors
  • Track renewal history and spot patterns

Everything you need to manage SSL certificates

Proactive monitoring, clear visibility, early alerts.

Expiry timeline

Visual timeline showing when each certificate expires. See the next 90 days at a glance. Perfect for agencies managing dozens of client certificates.

Certificate chain validation

Automatically validates the full certificate chain — root, intermediate, and leaf. A broken or misconfigured chain is a common cause of SSL errors. PerkyDash detects it early.

Early alerts

Choose your alert thresholds: 30, 14, 7, or 3 days before expiry. Gradual reminders via email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks. No more last-minute surprises.

Renewal history tracking

Track past renewals, identify patterns, and spot gaps. Useful for audits, agencies, and teams with long-lived products. Know when the last renewal happened and what's coming next.

SSL Dashboard

One place to manage all certificate expirations

All your SSL certificates appear in a clean, centralized dashboard. Filter by expiry date, hostname, or status. Sort by priority. See what's expiring soon at a glance.

  • Visual progress bars showing certificate lifetime remaining
  • Color-coded status indicators: Safe, Expiring Soon, Urgent
  • Tabs for All, SSL, Expiring Soon, and custom filters
  • Timeline view showing certificates expiring in the next 90 days

Common SSL errors explained

Clarity on what went wrong — and how to fix it.

Expired certificate

The certificate has passed its expiry date. Renew immediately to restore access.

Wrong hostname

Certificate doesn't match the domain. Check SANs and ensure the cert covers the hostname.

Missing intermediate

The intermediate certificate is missing or misconfigured. Install the full chain.

Self-signed certificate

Certificate isn't signed by a trusted authority. Use a certificate from Let's Encrypt or a CA.

Revoked certificate

Certificate has been revoked by the issuer. Issue a new certificate immediately.

Not yet valid

Certificate start date is in the future. Check server time and cert validity window.

Who uses SSL monitoring?

Builders, agencies, and teams who can't afford SSL surprises.

Agencies

Manage certificates across dozens of clients. Calendar view, bulk import, and early alerts ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

SaaS teams

Ensure your product never shows an SSL error. Chain validation, quality scores, and proactive alerts keep everything secure.

Indie founders

Track multiple side project certificates in one place. No more checking expiry dates manually or relying on unreliable auto-renew.

SSL monitoring FAQ

Common questions about certificate monitoring.

SSL certificate monitoring tracks the expiry dates, validity, and configuration of your SSL/TLS certificates. PerkyDash checks certificates automatically, validates chains, and alerts you before they expire so you avoid downtime and security warnings.
You choose your alert thresholds: 30, 14, 7, or 3 days before expiry. PerkyDash sends gradual reminders so you never miss a renewal deadline. Early reminders give you plenty of time to renew without rushing.
Chain validation ensures your full certificate chain is properly configured: root certificate, intermediate certificate, and your leaf certificate. A broken or missing intermediate is a common cause of SSL errors. PerkyDash detects these issues early before users see them.
Yes. PerkyDash shows all domains covered by each certificate, including SANs (Subject Alternative Names). Perfect for multi-domain certificates or complex setups where one certificate covers multiple hostnames.
Yes. PerkyDash validates the full certificate chain and checks whether all intermediates are present and properly configured. If there's a problem, you get alerted before users encounter SSL errors.
Auto-renew is great when it works — but it fails more often than you'd expect. DNS changes, server misconfigurations, or expired credentials can break auto-renew silently. PerkyDash is your backup: even if auto-renew fails, you get early warnings and time to fix it manually.

Never let an SSL certificate expire unnoticed

Proactive reminders, chain validation, and clear visibility for every certificate you manage.
