SSL monitoring for Kinsta sites
Kinsta's Let's Encrypt + Cloudflare integration is one of the best in managed WP, but custom-domain SSL still occasionally breaks during DNS changes or plan transitions. ManageCert provides the independent check that catches silent failures before they hit production.
Why ManageCert for Kinsta managed WordPress
Watches the public cert, not the MyKinsta dashboard
We hit port 443 directly. What you see is what your visitors see.
Catches Cloudflare-proxy renewal issues
Kinsta routes through Cloudflare for SSL. When the proxy intercepts ACME challenges or DNS edits break validation, we catch it.
WP Engine, Cloudways, and others too
Multi-host agencies: monitor every site the same way regardless of which managed-WP host runs it.
