Why SSL Expiry Matters
Let's Encrypt certificates (the ones issued here) are valid for 90 days. When one expires, every visitor sees a full-page browser warning - "Your connection is not private" - instead of your website. That means lost traffic, lost trust, and potential data risk.
90-Day Validity
Let's Encrypt certificates expire every 90 days - shorter than traditional 1-year certificates.
Instant Downtime
The moment a certificate expires, browsers block access with a security warning.
SEO Impact
Google de-ranks sites with SSL errors. An expired certificate can hurt your rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let's Encrypt issues 90-day certificates by design. Shorter validity periods reduce the risk from compromised keys and encourage automation. Browser vendors are moving toward even shorter lifetimes - Apple and Google have proposed 47-day validity as a future standard.
You will receive one reminder email per certificate, sent 14 days before it expires. We do not send marketing emails or additional follow-ups. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email.
