SSL monitoring & alerts

Certificates expire.
Yours won't.

Renew Radar keeps every certificate you own on the scope — it warns you long before expiry and catches the auto-renewals that quietly stopped working. The quiet ops engineer who already handled it.

How it works

Set the watch once. That's the job.

01

Point us at a domain

Paste a hostname, or paste the PEM for the certificates that never face the public internet, like internal mTLS clients.

02

We watch the horizon

Hourly sweeps track expiry and chain health. Alerts land in email or a webhook at the thresholds you choose.

03

Know which renewals are covered

Flag the certificates your ACME client already renews. We keep checking them anyway, so a renewal that silently fails still reaches you before expiry.

FAQ

Certificate monitoring, answered

What is SSL certificate monitoring?

Continuously checking the certificates your domains serve so that expiry, trust, and chain problems surface as a warning rather than as an outage. Renew Radar connects to each domain you add on a schedule, reads the certificate the server actually presents, and emails you before it expires. A broken chain or failed handshake shows up as an error on your dashboard.

How far in advance will I be warned about an expiring certificate?

You set the thresholds. The defaults warn you weeks ahead and then remind you again as the date approaches, which leaves room for renewals that need a purchase, a validation step, or a change window rather than a one-command reissue.

Does Renew Radar renew certificates for me?

It tracks certificates that renew automatically and tells you when that automation stops working, which is the failure that actually causes outages. A silently broken ACME cron job looks identical to a working one until the certificate expires.

Why not just set a calendar reminder?

Calendar reminders track the certificates you remembered to add. Outages come from the ones nobody remembered: a staging subdomain, an internal API, a microsite a contractor set up. Monitoring works from the domains you own rather than from memory.

Do I need to install an agent or change my servers?

No. Checks run from the outside over a normal TLS connection, exactly as a visitor would connect. You add a hostname and nothing on your infrastructure changes.

Is there a free plan?

Renew Radar is free while in beta for up to 20 certificates, and the SSL Checker, CSR Generator, Chain Tester, Cert Decoder, and Cert Converter are free to use without an account at all.
