Let’s Encrypt will be reducing the validity period of the certificates we issue. We currently issue certificates valid for 90 days, which will be cut in half to 45 days by 2028. This change is being made along with the rest of the industry, as required by the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, which set the technical requirements that we must follow. All publicly-trusted Certificate Authorities like Let’s Encrypt will be making similar changes. Reducing how long certificates are valid for helps improve the security of the internet, by limiting the scope of compromise, and making certificate revocation technologies more efficient.

    Like what?

    SSL is so simple and automatic with certbot.

    Then there’s CORS if you really need to load resources from other sites, but you won’t need that for small sites.

    Making the backend is easier than ever. It’s much harder to make security mistakes nowadays.

    And if you don’t know what you’re doing, just ask an LLM if you made any fuckups…
