Is Instagram SSL down right now?
This page answers whether Instagram SSL is down by checking the certificate instagram.com serves, live and from outside, rechecked every hour. Most "is it down" pages ping the homepage; a broken or expired certificate is a different failure, and it is the one this page watches.

Common questions
Is Instagram SSL down right now?
At the last check, instagram.com did not answer a TLS connection, so its SSL is effectively down. Full outages can affect more than SSL; this page only measures the certificate.
How does this page know if Instagram SSL is down?
A CertPost probe opens a real TLS connection to instagram.com on port 443, the same way a browser does, and reads the certificate. The result is cached and rechecked every hour, so this reflects the problem seen at the last check, not a guess.
Is this the same as Instagram being down?
Not always. A site can be reachable while its certificate is broken, or down for reasons unrelated to SSL. This page measures only the certificate instagram.com serves. For the full certificate detail, see the Instagram certificate status page.
