Deep TLS analysis

Deep TLS analysisAll features.

Everything a Deep TLS analysis does today: what it inspects, where the grade comes from, and what is in the report.

27 features in 7 groups, checked against the product on 14 November 2026.

What it checks

  • Six protocol versions

    SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3: whether the server offers each one. The first four are marked as deprecated.

  • The certificate

    Its expiry date and the days left, the dates it is valid between, the key size, the signature algorithm, who issued it, and whether the chain leads to a trusted root.

  • Revocation and transparency

    OCSP stapling, the certificate's revocation list address, and Certificate Transparency.

  • Configuration

    The HSTS max-age, forward secrecy, the domain's CAA record, whether a client certificate is asked for, and the server's banner.

  • Flagged issues

    Every finding the engine rates as low or worse, the worst first. Weak cipher suites and known TLS weaknesses appear here when the server has them.

  • It says when it met a CDN

    When the server's banner names a content delivery network, the result is labelled as that network's edge and not your own server.

  • Port 443, one address

    The inspection connects to port 443 at the first address the host resolves to.

The grade

  • The engine's grade and score

    A letter and a score out of 100, taken from the open-source TLS testing engine that does the inspection. We do not change either.

  • A risk rating in the PDF

    Elevated, Moderate or Low, from the most severe issue found.

The AI analysis

  • Three parts

    A verdict, what it means and what to fix, in under 240 words, written from the grade, the protocols, the certificate facts and the flagged issues.

  • Saved first

    The inspection's results are saved before the AI is asked, so a failed analysis loses nothing.

The report

  • In the dashboard

    The grade, the protocol versions, the certificate and configuration facts, the flagged issues and the AI analysis.

  • As a PDF

    Cover with a report ID, executive summary, a count of issues by severity, scope and method, the findings from the worst down, a table of obsolete cipher suites, three appendices (protocols, certificate and configuration, the key checks), trend and recommendations.

  • Written fixes

    For six families of finding: BREACH, LUCKY13, SWEET32, ROBOT, obsolete cipher lists and CBC ciphers. Other findings carry a general line.

  • Trend

    The grade and the score beside the previous finished inspection of the same site.

  • Combined report

    On the Reports page up to 50 reports, from this product and the others, can be merged into one PDF with a cover and a contents page.

  • History

    The page shows your 10 most recent inspections and any still waiting.

Running it

  • Run now or book for later

    A single inspection can be booked for a time up to 14 days ahead; up to 10 can be booked at once.

  • One inspection at a time

    One of yours runs at a time; others wait in the queue.

  • Cancel from the Jobs page

    A waiting, booked or running inspection can be cancelled.

  • A run that hangs is closed

    An inspection with no result after 15 minutes is marked as failed.

Ownership and safety

  • Verified sites only

    A run is accepted only for a site of yours whose DNS record has been confirmed, and the site is checked again when the run starts.

  • Public addresses only

    A host that does not resolve to a public address is refused when you ask for the run and again before it starts.

  • Read-only

    The engine opens connections and reads what the server offers. It attempts no exploitation and sends no load.

Plans and limits

  • Business

    100 inspections a month. It is not part of Free or Pro.

  • Resets on the 1st

    Allowances count over the calendar month, in UTC, and reset on the 1st.

  • Our failures are not counted

    An inspection that never started, or failed on our side, does not use the allowance.

What it does not do.

  • It inspects port 443 at one address only: no other ports and no mail servers.
  • Behind a content delivery network it inspects that network's edge, not your own server.
  • It does not list every cipher suite the server offers, only those rated as a problem.
  • It does not repeat on a schedule: you book single inspections.
  • It is not a penetration test: nothing is exploited and your application's logic is not tested. We do not offer one.

Know your TLS grade, and why.
