Website Reachability Monitoring with TLS Context

Use Case

See website reachability and TLS health together so outages are easier to triage.

Certhelm helps teams understand whether a site is reachable, whether the TLS handshake succeeds, and whether the certificate itself is healthy without flipping between separate uptime, SSL, and spreadsheet-based tools.

Run a Free TLS Check See Paid Plans

Separate network reachability problems from certificate and handshake problems
Reduce noisy handoffs between web, infrastructure, and security teams
Keep alerting aligned with the same customer workspace that owns the service
Track public websites first, then extend to internal services when needed

Reachability plus TLS

portal.example.com TLS fail Reachable, handshake broken after cert change

status.example.net Healthy Reachable and certificate valid

Why This Matters

Availability monitoring without TLS context leaves teams guessing.

A site can be reachable while the TLS handshake is failing
A certificate can be valid on paper while the served chain is wrong
Ops teams lose time when website status and certificate signals live in different tools
Customer-facing services need fast triage, not disconnected dashboards

How Certhelm Helps

Keep service reachability and certificate observations in the same workflow.

Status helps teams prioritize what is actually failing right now
Assets keep website and certificate monitoring records tied to one service view
Reports give teams a way to review changes, trends, and action items
Delivery settings keep alerts aligned with the customer team that owns the service

Signals

Availability and certificate/TLS context show up together instead of in separate tools.

Triage view

See whether the issue is reachability, handshake, or renewal-related before escalating.

Faster

Response loop

Teams spend less time proving where the problem lives and more time fixing it.

Related Paths

Expand from public website monitoring into deeper coverage.

SSL certificate monitoring for expiry and renewal tracking
Internal SSL monitoring when reachability needs to extend behind the firewall
MSP certificate management for multi-customer workflows

Next Step

Start with the free toolbox, then move into always-on monitoring.

A free TLS check is useful in the moment. Certhelm becomes valuable when the same services need durable ownership, alerting, and workflow around them.
