How to fix ssl cert expiring soon on Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Renew your SSL/TLS certificate before it expires to keep your store secure, trusted, and visible in search results.
Steps for Adobe Commerce (Magento)
- Adobe Commerce does not manage SSL — it is handled at the server/hosting level (cloud hosting, on-premise, or managed hosting partner).
- For Adobe Commerce Cloud: the certificate is managed by Fastly CDN. Log in to the Cloud Console (cloud.magento.com), navigate to your environment, go to Services → Fastly. SSL certificates are auto-renewed; verify the expiry date in the Fastly dashboard.
- For on-premise or third-party hosting: log in to your server or control panel, locate the SSL/TLS manager (e.g. cPanel → SSL/TLS), and renew or replace the certificate.
- After installing a new certificate, update the Magento base URLs if needed: Admin Panel → Stores → Configuration → General → Web → Base URLs (Secure) — ensure all use https://.
- Run 'bin/magento cache:flush' from the server command line after any configuration change to clear the config cache.
What is ssl cert expiring soon?
An SSL/TLS certificate is the digital credential that proves your website is who it says it is and encrypts the connection between your store and your customers' browsers — it's what puts the padlock icon and "https://" in the address bar. Every certificate has an expiry date, after which browsers will show a full-screen red warning ("Your connection is not private") to anyone who tries to visit your site. Renewing means getting a fresh certificate installed before the old one runs out. Most certificates last 90 days to 1 year, and renewal should be started at least 30 days before expiry to allow time for any issues.
When your certificate expires, every major browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — will block visitors with a hard security warning before they even see your store. This instantly destroys trust and conversions: most shoppers will leave and never return. Google also uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, so an expired certificate can hurt your organic search visibility. If you collect any customer data (names, emails, payment info), operating without a valid certificate exposes that data to interception and puts you at legal risk under privacy regulations such as GDPR and PCI-DSS. Even a single day of expiry can cause lasting damage to your brand reputation.
