ChillSSL
A smart SSL certificate monitoring platform that verifies every renewal — built for agencies and developers who can't afford to assume automation worked.
Tech Stack
About the Project
ChillSSL is a smart SSL certificate monitoring platform built for agencies, freelancers, and developers who manage multiple client websites. Instead of blindly trusting automation, ChillSSL actively verifies every renewal — giving you real confidence that your certificates are genuinely working, not just assumed to be.
The Problem It Solves
Automated SSL renewals are only as reliable as the systems behind them. A broken DNS record, a misconfigured server, or an expired API token can cause renewals to fail silently — leaving sites with expired certificates, browser warnings, and lost trust. ChillSSL adds a verification layer between your automation and your uptime.
- Detects renewal failures before users do
- Built for the new generation of short-lived certificates (6-day Let's Encrypt certs)
- Monitors IPv4, IPv6, and domain names
- Tracks full certificate lifecycle from Chilled (recently renewed) to Critical
Key Features
- Live Verification — certificates are checked multiple times per day and confirmed against real-world state
- Lifecycle Awareness — colour-coded status stages give instant portfolio health at a glance
- Smart Notifications — customisable expiry reminders, status change alerts, and weekly/monthly digest summaries
- Portfolio View — manage every client's certificates from a single clean dashboard
- Short-Lived Certificate Ready — precision tracking for 6-day and 30-day cert cycles that legacy monitors miss
