WP Force SSL Documentation

SSL certificate & Real-time monitoring

The SSL Certificate tab holds the most important information about your SSL certificate. It will show you:

  • if the currently assigned certificate is valid,
  • whom is it issued to,
  • who is the issuer,
  • validation date.
You can always click the “Refresh certificate info” to get the newest information.

Real-time SSL monitoring

But checking the information by yourself isn’t cool in the 21st century, right? That’s why we introduced the Real-time SSL monitoring feature that works for you.

If you turn on this option and write down your email, the WP Force SSL Dashboard will automatically scan your site’s certificate and will notify you only if there are errors to be found. That means you can relax, and act only once the email arrives.
