SSL/TLS Checker

SSL/TLS Checker Overview

The StripDNS SSL/TLS Checker tool is built for fast, practical checks when you need reliable answers without jumping between multiple dashboards. Test SSL/TLS protocol and certificate behavior for a target host. It is especially useful for TLS handshake and certificate trust validation, whether you are diagnosing outages, validating infrastructure changes, or preparing before a migration. Results are optimized for speed and readability so you can move from detection to action quickly during production incidents. For best outcomes, compare findings over time, cross-check with related DNS and TLS tools, and rerun checks after each config update to confirm changes propagated as expected.

How To Use This Tool

Common Use Cases

  • Validate TLS versions and cert chain health.
  • Investigate handshake failures quickly.
  • Verify edge certificate updates after deployment.

Recommended Steps

  1. Enter a valid domain, hostname, or IP based on the tool input format.
  2. Run the lookup and review key output fields first before deep details.
  3. Repeat after any DNS, network, or infrastructure change to confirm results.

Interpretation Tips

  • Compare results over time instead of relying on a single snapshot.
  • Validate both certificate details and protocol negotiation behavior.
  • Document findings with timestamps during incident handling.
FAQ

Cipher mismatch, protocol mismatch, SNI issues, or cert-chain errors are common causes.

Hostname mismatch, expired certs, untrusted issuers, or missing intermediates can fail validation.

Yes. Server config and protocol support can fail even with a valid certificate.

Browsers may retry with fallback paths and cached intermediates.

At minimum daily for expiry and after any certificate or edge configuration change.
