Hello,

Every day since October 27, my site has been offline for 8 minutes (error 525 → 526 → 525 → 526 → 526).

Everything seems okay on the SSL level, could an intern take a look ?

Thx you.

Hello there,

It doesn’t seem to be okay if errors are showing up again & again. From the error codes, its certain there’s a issue with the certificate or related server. You may click on those numbers and get more information. Or for instance:

Error 525 and 526 are common errors that can occur when a web server is unable to establish a secure connection with a client. There can be several reasons why these errors might occur, but the most common cause is an issue with the SSL configuration on the server.

To troubleshoot this issue, I would recommend the following steps:

  1. Check the SSL configuration on your server to make sure that the certificate is installed and configured correctly. If the certificate is not properly configured, it can cause issues with establishing a secure connection with the client.
  2. Check the server logs for any errors or messages related to SSL connections. This can help you to identify any specific issues with the SSL configuration that might be causing the errors.
  3. Test the SSL configuration on your server using a tool like SSL Labs or OpenSSL. This can help you to identify any issues with the SSL configuration that might not be obvious from the server logs.
  4. Contact your hosting provider or server administrator for assistance. If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, your hosting provider or server administrator may be able to help you diagnose and fix the problem.

I hope these steps help you to resolve the errors 525 and 526 on your website. If you are still experiencing problems, you can contact your hosting provider or server administrator for further assistance.

Thank you for your answers.

Error 525 today. 8 min offline…

I have 5 other sites under Cloudflare on this same server, none of them are having problems even though the configurations are the same.

Open SSL gives me an A+ rating…

I really don’t see where the problem can come from.

Have you ever had a case of an error per day (525 or 526) putting your site offline for 8 min? It’s crazy isn’t it ?

I add a detail that may be important my 5 sites are on same server, but different Cloudflare account (dns). Only one makes trouble.

I found someone who has the same problem as me, without solution: Randomly getting Error 525 each day or each few days
