SSL certificate expiry monitoring, before visitors see a warning
Alert My Business watches the SSL certificate on your website and emails you before it expires, so customers never meet a 'not secure' warning. It's included on the free plan.
Check your SSL certificate expiry date now
Enter your web address in the Free SSL checker. Then pick the result that matches what you see, and follow the next step.

An expired certificate turns customers away at the door
When an SSL certificate lapses, browsers put a full-page warning in front of your website. Most people don't read it. They leave.
Chrome, Safari and Edge all react to an expired certificate the same way: a warning that the connection is not private, and a button that takes the visitor back where they came from.
Checkouts feel it first. A customer halfway through paying sees a security warning and does the sensible thing. They close the tab and buy somewhere else.
Picture an online store running a weekend sale. The certificate renewal fails quietly on Friday, the sale email goes out on Saturday morning, and every click lands on a warning page. Nobody on staff notices until a customer messages to ask whether the site has been hacked.
The fix usually takes minutes. The cost comes from not knowing it needed fixing.
