SSL Labs
Free public test of a website's TLS configuration, run by Qualys.
Verdict
Paste a hostname into SSL Labs and it grades the TLS setup. The page calls this a free online service. Qualys also advertises a free trial of its paid cloud platform on the same page. That trial is not the test. The test is the thing that is free.
- Who it is for
- Anyone who wants a second opinion on a public site's certificate and TLS settings.
- Free tier
- The SSL Server Test is free. The page says the information you submit is used only to provide the service. Checked 14 Oct 2026.
- Pricing note
- The test has no price. Qualys's separate cloud platform has its own free trial, which we are not treating as the price of this test.

- Ownership
- Independent of this directory. The page says the test is powered by Qualys SSL Labs.
What holds up
- Free, and the page says free.
- You do not create an account to run a test.
What to watch
- It tests a public site. It does not watch it next week.
- The Qualys trial ad sits next to the free test and is easy to mix up.
