How a roofing crew should handle certificate renewals
18 Jan 2024
How a roofing crew deals with certificate renewals — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a 2 MB photo in a 320-pixel slot. The certificate chain breaks for a roofing crew.
A static site for a roofing crew does not need a CDN, a build pipeline, or a container. It needs correct certificate renewals and a host that stays online.
The best certificate renewals setup is the one nobody has to think about. For a roofing crew, that means auto-renew, auto-redirect, and a monitoring ping every four hours.
We once forgot to renew certificate renewals for a weekend project and it took down a page that a roofing crew linked to from a print flyer. We now set auto-renew on everything.
a roofing crew asked us to look at certificate renewals after a customer screenshot showed a browser warning. The fix took eleven minutes; finding the cause took two hours.
When a roofing crew moved hosts, the outage was not the new box — it was a 2 MB photo in a 320-pixel slot. We keep TTL short the week of a move, then raise it once everything is stable.
For a roofing crew, we wrote a three-line script that checks certificate renewals every morning and emails the owner if anything changes. Total cost: zero.
