MainWP SSL Monitor Extension

Description

The SSL Monitor add-on automatically checks the SSL certificate status of all WordPress sites managed by MainWP, adding an SSL status column to the “Manage Sites” screen and keeping a history of checks accessible through the extension panel. With configurable check frequency per site and early email alerts, the component eliminates the manual routine of opening each domain to confirm that HTTPS is still valid.

Main Features

• Automatic SSL checks
  Periodically checks the certificates of all connected child sites to MainWP.
• Early email alerts
  Sends notifications with a configurable lead time before each certificate expires.
• Status column in Manage Sites
  Displays the SSL status directly in the main sites dashboard of MainWP.
• On-demand manual checking
  Allows you to revalidate the certificate of a specific site at any time from the panel.
• Per-site configuration
  Adjusts monitoring frequency and the alert window individually for each managed domain.

Benefits of the SSL Monitor Extension

• No more manual routines
  Eliminates the need to open each site to check certificate validity.
• Prevents HTTPS downtime
  Reduces the risk of pages showing a “not secure” warning due to an expired certificate.
• Centralized view of your portfolio
  Consolidates the SSL status of dozens of sites into a single management screen.
• History for auditing
  Keeps a log of checks as a compliance record and diagnostic reference.

Who Is It For?

• Agencies and professionals managing multiple WordPress sites through MainWP.
• Maintenance teams responsible for uptime and security contracts.
• WordPress freelancers who provide monitoring services and ongoing care.

For those operating maintenance portfolios with dozens or hundreds of sites in the MainWP panel, the extension closes a common blind spot: SSL certificates that expire without warning and generate customer tickets. By centralizing checks, early alerts, and the history of checks in the same management interface, the module turns HTTPS monitoring into an automated and auditable routine.
