Let’s Encrypt Is Ending SSL Expiration Emails — Here’s How WPMissionControl Helps Agencies Stay Ahead

If you manage websites for clients, here’s a critical update: Let’s Encrypt will stop sending SSL certificate expiration notification emails starting June 4, 2025.

For years, these emails acted as a safety net. But now, Let’s Encrypt is retiring them, citing the rise of automation, privacy concerns, and the cost of maintaining the service.

Why This Matters for Web Pros

You probably already automate SSL renewals through hosting or Certbot—but automation isn’t bulletproof. Hosting misconfigurations, failed cron jobs, or DNS issues can cause silent renewal failures.

If a certificate expires unnoticed, your client’s site breaks. Visitors see security warnings. Trust drops. Conversions tank. And your phone starts ringing.

WPMissionControl Takes This Off Your Plate
