What this free SSL scanner does
Think of it as a check-up for your website’s “secure padlock.” You enter a domain. We do what a browser does - and a bit more - then hand you back a clear report.
What we check, in plain English
The certificate itself. Is it real, who issued it, what name it covers, when it expires.
The full chain. Like asking for ID plus the documents that back it up. Missing pieces are a top cause of mobile-only HTTPS failures.
Hostname match. Does the certificate actually cover the domain you typed?
Protocols and ciphers. Are you still allowing weak old versions (TLS 1.0, 1.1)? Are your ciphers strong?
Known vulnerabilities. Heartbleed, POODLE, ROBOT, and friends.
How the grade works
Each check contributes to a single letter grade from A+ to F. Same idea as a school report card: if any single item is critical (expired, broken chain, weak protocol), the overall grade drops fast.
A or A+: Strong configuration, no critical issues. You can sleep at night.
B: Mostly good. One or two small things to tighten.
C / D: Real configuration weaknesses. Fix these before they hurt you.
F: Something is critically wrong - expired, broken, or insecure.
When to use it
After a deploy. Confirm nothing broke. Takes 30 seconds.
Before a security audit. See what the auditor will see.
When a customer complains. Quickly verify whether the issue is on your side.
When evaluating a vendor. A weak SSL grade on a vendor’s production site is a signal.
From a one-off check to continuous monitoring
A scan is a single photo. Monitoring is a security camera. Most certificate problems start small and silent - a renewal slipped past, a load balancer reconfigured, a forgotten subdomain. TLS Radar monitoring runs scans on a schedule and alerts you the moment something changes, so you never find out from a customer.

Frequently asked questions
Is the SSL scanner really free?<br>Yes. No signup, no credit card, no email needed. We rate-limit to keep the service fair, but every scan is free to run and free to share.
What does the scanner check?<br>Certificate validity, expiry, hostname match, full chain, trusted issuer, TLS protocol versions, cipher strength, and known SSL/TLS vulnerabilities.
How fast is a scan?<br>Most scans complete in 15 to 30 seconds. Results are cached for one minute so you can share a link without re-running the scan.
Can I scan internal or private servers?<br>No. The free scanner only works on public, internet-reachable domains. For internal infrastructure, use TLS Radar monitoring on your own network.
