SSL/TLS Certificate Monitoring for Venue Websites

Eliminate "Your connection is not private" browser warnings that scare couples away before they ever see your venue pricing.

Direct Answer / Quick Summary

What happens when a venue SSL certificate expires?

When an SSL certificate expires, modern web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge) immediately block access to the website and display a full-screen red warning warning visitors that attackers may be trying to steal personal information. Over 90% of prospective clients will not bypass this warning.

Key Venue Takeaway: SSL monitoring warns you weeks before a certificate expires, so renewal can happen in time.
