SSL Certificate Monitoring

Never Let an SSL Certificate Expire Unnoticed

Pulsely continuously validates your certificate chain, tracks expiry dates, and alerts you at 30, 14, and 7 days before expiration — so your site stays trusted, secure, and search-engine friendly.

Configure Multi-Tier Expiry Notifications

Set up layered alerts so your team gets notified well before a certificate lapses. Pulsely checks every monitored domain every 6 hours and fires notifications at three configurable milestones: 30 days, 14 days, and 7 days prior to expiration.

30-Day Early Warning

Receive your first notification via email or webhook 30 days before expiry. This gives your infrastructure team ample time to plan renewal, coordinate with your CA (Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, Sectigo, etc.), and schedule maintenance windows without rushing.

14-Day Renewal Reminder

A second, escalated alert arrives at the 14-day mark. If the certificate hasn't been renewed, Pulsely sends SMS or Slack notifications to designated on-call engineers, ensuring accountability and preventing oversight during busy release cycles.

7-Day Critical Alert

The final alert fires 7 days before expiration with a critical severity level. This triggers PagerDuty integrations and highlights the domain in red on your dashboard, making it impossible to miss. For wildcard certificates covering sub.example.com, all dependent subdomains are flagged simultaneously.

All notification channels — email, Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, and custom webhooks — are configurable per domain. You can assign different escalation paths for production domains like shop.acmecorp.io versus staging environments like staging.acmecorp.io.

Security & SEO

Why SSL Health Directly Impacts Your Search Rankings

An expired or misconfigured SSL certificate doesn't just break HTTPS — it triggers browser security warnings, drops your domain's trust score, and signals poor site maintenance to search engines. Google has confirmed that HTTPS is a ranking signal, and sites with broken certificates can lose visibility within hours.

Certificate Chain Validation

Pulsely doesn't just check expiry dates. We validate the entire certificate chain — from your leaf certificate through intermediate CAs to the root — against Mozilla's and Apple's trusted store lists. If an intermediate certificate is missing or misordered, you'll receive a detailed diagnostic report with the exact gap in the chain.

Protocol & Cipher Monitoring

We verify that your server supports TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, and flag deprecated protocols like SSLv3, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.1. Weak ciphers (RC4, DES, 3DES) are detected and reported. This ensures your configuration meets PCI DSS compliance and modern browser requirements.

SEO Impact Protection

When a certificate expires, browsers display "Not Secure" warnings that increase bounce rates by 40-60% on average. Google's crawler may deprioritize crawling your pages, and your site could be removed from search results entirely. Pulsely's proactive monitoring keeps your SSL healthy so your SEO performance stays stable — protecting organic traffic to pages like blog.acmecorp.io or products.acmecorp.io.

Every SSL check runs from monitoring nodes in Frankfurt, Ashburn, Singapore, and Tokyo, giving you a global view of your certificate's health. Results are logged with timestamps and available via API for integration into your internal compliance dashboards. Teams managing 50+ domains — from saas.startup.io to enterprise.corp.net — rely on Pulsely to eliminate certificate-related downtime entirely.
