SSL monitoring for WP Engine sites
WP Engine's SSL management is enterprise-grade and mostly hands-off — but on custom domains where DNS validation depends on your registrar's cooperation, renewals can quietly fail. ManageCert is the daily independent check that surfaces silent failures before customer support tickets.
Why ManageCert for WP Engine sites
Enterprise-scale portfolio view
Agency or large-team running 50-200 WP Engine sites? Agency tier ($99/mo) covers 200 domains in one dashboard.
Independent of User Portal status
We hit the public cert directly. Status shown in WP Engine's User Portal can lag the actual cert state.
Catches DNS-validation failures
When custom-domain DNS validation breaks (registrar migration, A record edit), renewal silently stops. We surface it.
SSL, domain expiry, DNS — daily, across all your domains.
SSL certificates
Expiry, issuer, SANs, chain validity, hostname match. Alerts at 30/14/7/1 days, plus immediate if invalid.
Domain registration
RDAP + WHOIS lookups daily. Alerts at 60/30/14/7 days. Catches lapsed-domain → squatter before it happens.
DNS records
A/AAAA/MX/CNAME/TXT/NS snapshot + diff. Catches mid-night MX flips before mail breaks for a week.
