What it answers

TLS & Cache Checker in four questions.

Is the certificate estate healthy

Chain validity, expiries, issuer posture, and whether renewal automation is in place for the shortening-lifetime era.

Is the TLS configuration modern

Protocol versions and negotiation, is the edge serving TLS 1.3 to clients that speak it?

Is caching actually happening

Repeat-request probes show real HIT/MISS behavior per asset class, not what the config file claims.

Are you ready for 47-day certificates

Lifetimes step down from March 2026; manual renewal processes stop being survivable. The checker grades your readiness.

Under the hood

How it works.

A transparent look at exactly what the tool checks, and how it reaches its answer.

DETECTIONHow it works
Certificate & TLS status · verified connection

The live connection reports whether the certificate chain verifies and which TLS version the edge negotiated for our request.

Core
Chain validation · trust & expiry

Every certificate in the chain checked for validity, expiry windows and known-problem issuers.

Core
Cache-header analysis · how caches will treat it

Cache-Control, Age and related headers on the response show whether content is cacheable and how long edges are told to hold it.

Core
Clear pass/fail verdict · at a glance

Two plain verdicts — is the certificate valid, and is the content cacheable — with the headers behind each, ready to copy or share.

The report

What you’ll get.

THE OUTPUTInside the report
Chain & expiry map

Every certificate, its validity and its renewal deadline.

Included
Protocol matrix

What was negotiated at each attempted version.

Included
Cache verdicts

HIT/MISS behavior per asset class, with honored TTLs.

Included
Shortening-lifetime readiness

A grade on whether your renewal operations survive 47-day certificates.

Use cases

Who it’s for.

Teams facing the 2026 step-down

Certificate lifetimes begin shortening in March 2026; this is the readiness check.

Cache-hit tuning

Find the asset classes silently missing cache before the bandwidth bill does.

Compliance checks

Chain and protocol posture, documented in a shareable report.

Migration verification

Prove the new edge negotiates and caches the way the old one did, or better.

Built on assessment data

The toolkit automates the detection and benchmark data behind the assessments we already run, the tools are how we prove the data is good.

Free, no signup, shareable

Every tool ships free with shareable reports; the business model is the advisory behind it, not your email address.

FAQ

TLS & Cache Checker questions,
answered straight.

Is the checker live?

It’s live now in public beta in the CDN World toolkit — live now; the tools page are free to run with no signup.

What’s the 47-day certificate story?

The CA/Browser Forum has scheduled maximum certificate lifetimes to step down from today’s 398 days to 200 days in March 2026, then 100 days in 2027, reaching 47 days by March 2029. Manual renewal doesn’t survive that; the checker grades whether your automation will.

How does it test caching without my logs?

Sequenced repeat requests observe the edge’s actual HIT/MISS responses and honored TTLs per asset class, behavior, not configuration claims.

Will it flag weak ciphers?

Protocol and negotiation posture is in the launch scope, graded against current guidance rather than exhaustive cipher enumeration.

Is it safe to run against production?

Yes, it’s a handful of ordinary HTTPS requests, indistinguishable from a browser visit.
