Small tools for the things that break quietly

Certificates, domains and DNS records all fail on a date nobody wrote down. These check them in a second. No account, no email, no limits worth mentioning — use them whether or not you ever become a customer.

SSL certificate checker

Who issued a certificate, when it expires, and how many days are left.

“Is my certificate about to expire?”
DNS lookup

The A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS and TXT records a domain is publishing right now.

“Did my DNS change actually take?”
DNS propagation checker

Whether independent resolvers agree on your DNS yet, or are still serving the old record.

“Has my DNS change gone through everywhere?”
Domain expiry checker

When a domain registration lapses, and who it’s registered with.

“When does this domain run out?”
Email deliverability checker

Your domain’s SPF, DMARC and DKIM setup — including the lookup limit that breaks SPF silently.

“Why is my email going to spam?”
Email header analyser

The route a message took, where the time went, and what the receiving server concluded about SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

“Why did this email arrive late — or not at all?”
Weekly site health check

One email a week if your certificate, domain or email setup needs attention.

“What expired while I wasn’t looking?”
Downtime cost calculator

What an hour offline costs you, and what 99.9% uptime really allows.

“Is better uptime worth paying for?”

Why these are free

Because they answer a question once, and the useful version of the answer is the one that keeps arriving. Checking a certificate today tells you it's fine today — it doesn't help in four months when it quietly expires on a Sunday. That's what a monitor is for, and that's what we sell.

So run these as often as you like. If you eventually want them run for you, create a free account — 25 monitors, without a card.

If you'd rather we didn't check your domain

These tools only ever read what a domain publishes publicly — a single certificate handshake, a DNS query, or a registry lookup. Nothing is written, nothing is scanned, and every request identifies itself as UptimeTwin/1.0 (+https://uptimetwin.com) in your logs.

If you'd still prefer we skipped your domain entirely, publish a TXT record at _uptimetwin-optout.yourdomain.com with any value. We check for it before every lookup and stop within the hour. No form, no account, no reply needed.
