SSL monitoring for WordPress sites

WordPress sites span every hosting model: shared (Bluehost, SiteGround), managed (Kinsta, WP Engine), Cloudways. Each has its own SSL renewal quirks. ManageCert hits every WordPress domain you add with a daily TLS handshake — the actual cert visitors see, not what your host's dashboard says is current.

// the pain

Research from Sectigo shows the average organization has roughly three cert-caused outages every 24 months. For WordPress agencies running 50+ client sites across 4-5 hosts, that's a near-monthly incident if you're not watching. ManageCert is the watching.

Why ManageCert for WordPress sites

Works regardless of host

Bluehost, SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, Pressable, Pantheon — we watch your domain, not your hosting account.

Catches the 'wildcard didn't propagate' case

Wildcard certs that get reissued but don't propagate to all subdomains are a classic WP multisite gotcha. We test each hostname individually.

Domain + DNS too, not just SSL

WordPress sites tend to outlive the agency or developer who built them. We catch lapsed domains and DNS changes that would silently kill the site.

// what gets monitored

SSL, domain expiry, DNS — daily, across all your domains.

TLS

SSL certificates

Expiry, issuer, SANs, chain validity, hostname match. Alerts at 30/14/7/1 days, plus immediate if invalid.

DOM

Domain registration

RDAP + WHOIS lookups daily. Alerts at 60/30/14/7 days. Catches lapsed-domain → squatter before it happens.

DNS

DNS records

A/AAAA/MX/CNAME/TXT/NS snapshot + diff. Catches mid-night MX flips before mail breaks for a week.
