Guidance

Common SSL issues and what they usually mean.

Expired certificate
Renew the certificate, confirm the correct vhost is serving it, and reload the web server.
Incomplete chain
Install the intermediate certificate bundle so older clients validate correctly.
Hostname mismatch
The certificate does not cover the requested hostname. Update SANs or change the hostname used.

FAQ

Quick answers to common questions.

Why does it work on one browser but not another?
Often a chain issue. Some clients cache intermediates, others do not—complete chains prevent this.
Do I check the apex or www?
Check both if both are used. Certificates commonly cover both via SANs.
