Will Services Be Affected If an SSL Certificate Is Not Updated After It Expires?

If an SSL certificate expires and will not be used anymore, you do not need to purchase it again, and services are not affected.

In addition, if the SSL certificate expires and is not updated in a timely manner, an alarm indicating that the security certificate of the website has expired is displayed when a user accesses the website. Unauthorized users, such as hackers, can use expired SSL certificates to tamper with or steal information and data transmitted between the browser and server, affecting user data security.

If a browser user finds that the website server certificate expires, the user does not trust the website, which brings negative impact on the brand image of the enterprise. After the website server expires, users may choose to stop accessing the website to avoid personal loss.
