Monitoring WebsitesSite Deep Dive

SSL

The SSL section analyzes the TLS/SSL certificate configuration of the monitored website and provides detailed information about the certificate's validity, reliability, and technical specifications.

Through this section, users can easily review:

  • SSL certificate validity period
  • Certificate provider
  • TLS configuration
  • Certificate chain
  • Domain name matches

This analysis is critically important for the website to establish a secure HTTPS connection and for user data to be transmitted securely.

SSL Overview

At the top of the SSL screen, the general status and validity period of the certificate are displayed.

Expiration

Shows how long until the SSL certificate expires.

This section includes:

  • Number of remaining days
  • Date when the certificate will expire
  • Visual duration indicator

This information is used to track the certificate renewal time.

Certificate Technical Information

The technical specifications of the certificate are also shown in detail on the SSL screen.

Issuer

Shows the Certificate Authority (CA) information that provided the certificate.

Example

DigiCert Global CA G2 – DigiCert Inc.

Cipher

Shows the encryption algorithm used in the TLS connection.

Example

TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

Cipher Strength

Shows the bit length of the encryption key.

This value indicates the cryptographic security level of the connection.

Protocol

Shows the TLS protocol version supported by the server.

Example

TLSv1.3

Key Exchange

Shows the key exchange mechanism used in the TLS connection.

OCSP

Shows the Online Certificate Status Protocol address.

This service is used to verify whether the certificate has been revoked.

CRL Distribution Points

Shows the Certificate Revocation List addresses.

These lists allow checking for revoked certificates.

Serial Number

The unique serial number of the SSL certificate.

Certificate Details

This section shows the domain name matches and creation information of the SSL certificate.

Subject

Shows the main domain name the certificate belongs to.

Example

*.example.com

Subject Alternative Names (SAN)

Lists all domain names covered by the certificate.

For example, a certificate can cover the following domain names:

Example

example.com

www.example.com

api.example.com

*.example.com

This way, a single SSL certificate can secure multiple domain names.

Signature Algorithm

Shows the cryptographic algorithm used when signing the certificate.

Example

sha256

Created At

Shows the date when the certificate was created.

Expires

Shows the date when the certificate's validity will expire.

SSL Chain

The SSL Chain section shows the certificate's chain of trust.

This chain typically consists of three levels:

  1. Leaf Certificate (Site Certificate) The certificate that directly belongs to the website.

  2. Intermediate Certificate The intermediate Certificate Authority certificate that signed the certificate.

  3. Root Certificate The top-level trusted Certificate Authority certificate.

WebPixie verifies the integrity of this chain and confirms whether the certificate is signed by a trusted authority.

If the chain is properly configured, the system displays the following message:

Success

✔ SSL certificate chain is properly trusted

✔ Certificate is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority
