When a website is configured with a SSL certificate, the security of the website will be greatly improved, but what about the expiration of the SSL certificate? As we all know, browser certificates will expire, so what to do after the certificate expires. For the expiration of the SSL certificate, how to solve it, what are the specific reasons?

The first thing to realize is that there are many reasons why the browser certificate expires. The most common reason is that the browser's time is wrong, or the SSL certificate has expired. The first question that comes to mind is whether the date and time of the computer system are correct. If it is not correct, change the time of the computer first. When setting the time, set it to "Internet time". After the modification, reopen the browser and try whether it will prompt the security certificate to expire again. If not, it is a matter of time. So when the browser certificate expires, the first thing to do is to judge the situation.

So what if the browser certificate expires? if the browser address bar shows a certificate error, click the text prompt "the security certificate issued by this website has expired or is not yet valid, and the certificate may no longer be trusted." you need to click the "View Certificate" button below, and after reopening it, if the website will prompt you to install the certificate, click "View Certificate" directly. Click "install Certificate" to find "install to trusted Root Certificate Authority". When these certificates expire, you need to reconfigure the certificate.

So we can see that there are many reasons for browser certificate expiration, but these cases are relatively easy to deal with.

SSL certificate securely encrypts the website, which can effectively prevent hijacking, prevent your website from being maliciously implanted with advertisements, prevent tampering and monitoring from leaking users' passwords, and optimize the SEO ranking of search engines with SSL certificates.
