SSL Certificate Checker

After installing the SSL certificate on the Nginx web server, you need to check if it is installed correctly.

I installed the SSL certificate two months ago. The Sectigo ECC certificate.

Now I change the certificate files.

Previously, I put the site SSL certificate file content and the SSL-bundle file altogether. The final SSL certificate file is 4.36KB. It includes three certificates. The guide is from Comodo official site. Sectigo site has a similar guide here.

Now, I remove the last one. Just keep the site certificate and the middle one. Total size is  3.01KB.

The certificate I deleted from the old file is for USERTrust ECC Certification Authority. It is already included in the Trusted Root CA list.

Then, I tested the new certificate file, which has two certificates only, on different online SSL checking tools.
