Check Certificate Coverage and AutoSSL Status in cPanel

cPanel’s certificate-status screen helps you inspect coverage, expiry and AutoSSL eligibility for the names in your account. It is a useful starting point, but it does not replace testing the certificate visitors receive through a CDN or other public endpoint.

Find the correct account and screen

Use the trusted panel link supplied for your hosting service. Search for SSL/TLS Status, or open the Status area of the newer SSL/TLS Certificates interface. Names and available actions depend on the installed version, features and host configuration; old lock-count screenshots are not a reliable interpretation guide.

Inspect each required hostname

• Check whether the name is covered by the installed certificate, not merely listed as a domain in the account.
• Inspect issuer, validity and coverage details. A self-signed certificate and a publicly trusted certificate are not interchangeable for ordinary public visitors.
• Review whether AutoSSL includes the name and whether a validation or renewal error is reported.
• Check the bare domain, www and any other endpoint separately. A wildcard is not automatic coverage for every level.

Follow the reported problem

For AutoSSL, use the available scoped check and inspect its result. For a manually managed certificate, use the installation/management route appropriate to the account. If an action is unavailable, ask the host rather than installing another automation tool.

An exclusion is not a certificate uninstall. A listed certificate can also differ from the public certificate when a proxy terminates HTTPS, so test the public hostname without bypassing warnings. Check redirects, embedded resources and the actual renewal mechanism.
