How do I add an SSL badge to my website?

Enter your domain above to generate a one-line embed snippet, then paste it into your footer HTML. The badge starts reflecting your certificate's status right away — no account and no install.

What does the "SSL monitored" badge show?

It's a live trust badge tied to your certificate's status, refreshed regularly (not in real time). While your SSL is valid it shows so, and its cached status is bounded by the certificate's expiry — so it can never keep showing valid for an expired certificate.

Is the SSL badge free?

Yes, the badge is completely free with no signup. If you'd also like alerts before your certificate lapses, add your sites to a free SSLCanary account.

"SSL monitored" badge

A live SSL security and trust badge for your website footer. It shows your certificate is valid — and can't keep showing valid once the certificate has expired.

Embed snippet

<a href="https://sslcanary.com/en/tools/ssl-checker?host=yourdomain.com"> <img src="https://sslcanary.com/badge/yourdomain.com.svg" alt="SSL monitored by SSLCanary" height="28"> </a>

The badge updates itself. If the certificate ever lapses, it stops saying "valid".

The badge only stays honest because we keep watching. Monitor your domains automatically and get alerted before anything lapses.

Monitor automatically

How it works

Enter your domain

Type the hostname you want the badge to watch, like example.com. No http:// or setup needed.

Copy the snippet

We generate a one-line embed snippet for your badge. Copy it — nothing to install and no account required.

Paste it in your footer

Drop the snippet into your site's footer HTML. The badge shows your certificate's latest checked status and refreshes on its own.
