Verify Installation

To verify if your certificate is installed correctly, use our Certificate Installation Checker.

Test your SSL certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive. For example, if your SSL was issued to secure.mysite.com, enter https://secure.mysite.com it into your browser.

Your browser's padlock icon

will be displayed in the locked position if your certificate is installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
