SSL Checker

Review a website TLS certificate and HTTPS configuration for common issues such as expiry, hostname mismatch, redirects, and weak transport setup.

Problem Summary

TLS configuration affects whether users can connect safely and whether browsers trust a site. Certificate expiry, hostname mismatch, missing redirects, or inconsistent HTTPS behavior can create avoidable outages and security warnings.

Why It Matters

  • Browsers warn users when certificates are expired, invalid, or issued for the wrong host.
  • HTTP endpoints that do not redirect to HTTPS can expose users to downgrade and mixed-content risks.
  • TLS settings often change outside application code through load balancers, managed certificates, and CDN configuration.

How Qourby Checks It

  • Connects to the target over HTTPS and inspects the observable certificate metadata and hostname coverage.
  • Checks whether HTTP redirects to HTTPS where applicable.
  • Records transport findings that can be verified externally without credentials.
  • This scan does not perform a full manual TLS assessment or private infrastructure review.
Basic scanning checks externally observable configuration and response behavior. Manual penetration testing goes further with authenticated flows, exploit validation, source review, business logic testing, and human judgment.

Common Failures

  • Certificate common name or subject alternative names do not cover the scanned hostname.
  • Certificate is expired or close enough to expiry that renewal should be checked.
  • HTTP remains available without redirecting to HTTPS.
  • HTTPS works on one hostname but fails on another production alias.
  • HSTS is absent even though the site is intended to be HTTPS-only.

How To Fix

  • Renew or reissue certificates through your certificate authority, CDN, or hosting platform.
  • Confirm that every production hostname is included in the certificate subject alternative names.
  • Enable HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects at the edge before application routing when possible.
  • Add HSTS after confirming HTTPS is stable for the apex domain and required subdomains.
