Overview

Managing SSL certificates across multiple websites can be challenging, especially when tracking expiration dates and ensuring timely renewals. The MainWP SSL Monitor Extension automates this process, providing a centralized solution for SSL certificate monitoring directly from your MainWP dashboard. It offers automated and manual checks, email alerts, and customizable settings for comprehensive SSL oversight and peace of mind.

Key Features

Automated SSL Certificate Checks

Email Notifications for Expiring Certificates

Stay proactive with email alerts that notify you when an SSL certificate is nearing expiration. You can define the threshold for notifications, such as a specific number of days before the expiration date, allowing sufficient time to renew certificates and maintain site security.

Manual SSL Checks

In addition to automated monitoring, you have the option to perform manual checks on demand. With one click, you can verify the SSL certificate status of all your Child Sites. This feature is especially useful after updates or changes to your SSL settings.
