SSL Certificate Chain Checker
Visualize the complete path from your server certificate up to the trusted root CA. Instantly identify missing intermediate certificates that cause browser warnings.
- Live TLS handshake
- Trust & chain validation
- Expiry countdown
- TLS 1.0–1.3 detection
How the SSL checker works
Check any SSL certificate online in three simple steps — no signup, no downloads.
1. Enter a hostname
Type any domain or subdomain — for example example.com or mail.example.com. You can paste a full URL; we'll clean it up automatically. Add :port for non-standard ports.
2. We connect live
RunSSLCheck opens a real TLS connection to the server and inspects the exact certificate it presents — no cached data and no third-party API.
3. Read your results
See trust status, hostname match, expiry countdown, the full certificate chain, key strength, and which TLS versions are enabled.
Everything you need to check SSL certificates

Full certificate chain
Visualizes the path from your server certificate up to the trusted root CA, with downloadable PEM for every certificate.
Key & protocol analysis
Reports key type and size, signature algorithm, and detects every supported TLS version from 1.0 to 1.3.
