What does the SSL grade mean?

The grade (A-F) is based on certificate validity, key size, protocol version, and configuration. Grade A means optimal security; grades below indicate configuration weaknesses.

How often should I check my SSL certificate?

You should monitor your SSL certificate at least monthly. Certificates expire and automated renewal failures can go unnoticed, causing site outages and trust warnings.

What key size is considered secure?

RSA keys should be at least 2048 bits. 4096 bits provides additional security. Keys below 2048 bits are considered weak and should be replaced.

What is the difference between TLS 1.2 and 1.3?

TLS 1.3 is faster and more secure than TLS 1.2. It removes legacy algorithms, reduces handshake round-trips, and provides forward secrecy by default. Always prefer TLS 1.3.

Does SSL affect SEO rankings?

Yes. Google confirmed HTTPS is a ranking signal. Sites with valid SSL certificates receive a small ranking boost, while sites without HTTPS are flagged as "Not Secure" in browsers.

What happens when an SSL certificate expires?

Browsers will show a security warning to visitors, blocking access to your site. This causes immediate traffic loss, damages trust, and can impact search rankings if not resolved quickly.

Can I use free SSL certificates?

Yes. Let's Encrypt provides free, automated SSL certificates trusted by all major browsers. For enterprise needs, paid certificates from DigiCert or Sectigo offer additional validation levels (OV/EV).
