My pretty green SSL lock turned gray in Chrome today. Spent half a day setting that up. Just used Heroku @ExpeditedSSL add-on. 5 mins flat

I wish we'd discovered @expeditedssl before dealing with all our SSL crap. Great looking service.

Setting up SSL on @Heroku in 10 minutes instead of 3 hours? - Shut up and take my money, @ExpeditedSSL!
— Christoph Engelhardt (@itengelhardt) July 8, 2014
Took me all of 15 minutes to setup SSL with @ExpeditedSSL for one of our apps on @heroku. Love this service.

If I'd had @expeditedssl when I launched each of my products I'd have literally days of my life back. Can't wait for an excuse to use it.

Stop wasting time trying to get SSL working on Heroku. Use @ExpeditedSSL and start smiling because you've got the afternoon off!

wow, ssl is amazingly easy on @heroku now with @ExpeditedSSL. Top notch.

I just used @ExpeditedSSL on @heroku. 5 mins .. done. A no-brainer (unless you like spending weekends dealing with SSL certs).
— Kevin Dewalt (@kevindewalt) February 6, 2015
I love you @heroku but SSL and your platform is a nightmare. Just buy the expedited ssl add-on entirely and pull it into the platform
— Joel Oliveira (@jayroh) June 13, 2014
@expeditedssl - thank you for letting me not wrangle with SSL certs again!
— Barry Welch (@sleep) July 7, 2014
If anyone ever needs to get a SSL working with heroku custom domains I can heartily recommend Expedited SSL add-on
— World Of Proper (@worldofproper) July 8, 2014
@ExpeditedSSL I just wanted to say thank you for the super fast hookup on the SSL and support I received!

One of the things I love about heroku and @ExpeditedSSL is I hardly ever have to worry about devopsy kind of stuff anymore.
— Ryan Castillo (@rmcastil) July 24, 2014
The most stressed I've been is trying to add SSL certs to Heroku apps. Now, there's an add-on for that: https://t.co/dUhR0tb5mr
— Maia Bittner (@maiab) July 30, 2014
.@ExpeditedSSL is worth every penny. Maybe similar automation is available for AWS ELBs…
— Chas Emerick (@cemerick) November 11, 2014Awesome - ExpeditedSSL truly takes the pain away from SSL certificate installations: https://t.co/Y6hKN7rneD @mbuckbee

Just solved all my Heroku SSL headaches with @ExpeditedSSL and now I never have to install a cert ever again.
— Matthew Lehner (@matthewpearse) July 8, 2014
Dealing with SSL sucks. Dealing with SSL through @ExpeditedSSL does not suck. If you're on @heroku, use it and save yourself the heartache.

PSA for Heroku users: @ExpeditedSSL is *the* way to get an SSL cert and configure SSL on Heroku. So much easier than before.
— Andrew Culver (@andrewculver) July 10, 2014
Just ran through @ExpeditedSSL's setup again and it's even easier than I remember. Doing Heroku SSL manually really is a fool's errand. :-)
— Andrew Culver (@andrewculver) July 23, 2014
@metaskills @mbuckbee @ExpeditedSSL is definitely a valuable service. Speeds up the process of adding ssl to your application on @heroku
— Adetola (@adetolaadewodu) October 10, 2014https://t.co/woNd9OPtYI is a brilliant product for anyone using Heroku to do custom development for clients.
— Paul McMahon (@pwim) November 17, 2014Painless setup and pretty great customer service. We're definitely using @ExpeditedSSL on all future projects @playfrisly

Purchasing and installing a SSL Certificate on your Heroku instance is fraught with peril. You have to make determinations about keysizes, generate CSRs, differentiate between FQDN's and common names and fill out fields on a command line correctly or face rejection in the form of an obscure error message.
Then, even if you've done all that right, you can still easily install the cert in some subtly wrong way that shows everyone who hits your site a terrifying warning message
We've curated a massive list of buildpacks, tips, scripts and shortcuts to maximize your productivity developing on the Heroku platform.
SSL Tests can quickly bog down in pages of technical details. We've got a simple test that you can pass to someone else in your organization to communicate to them the importance of using and addressing SSL issues.
Heroku's Deploy Button launches Github + Bitbucket projects into a new app-instance along with all needed Addons. Our Button Maker makes the process of setting one up even easier.
You may have noticed that the SSL indicator in your browser looks different on some sites than others. This is because SSL certificates are issued at different validation levels. Screenshots of how SSL looks in different browsers.
For something used as commonly as SSL (and our best efforts) - it remains a maddening effort to setup. In part this is due to the technical underpinnings, but also the number of people that you need to interact with within your company to get it setup.
SSLv3 was released over 15 years ago and can no longer be considered secure. Check if your webserver is still using SSLv3 and whether or not it's vulnerable to the POODLE SSLv3 vulnerability.
If you're on Heroku and need SSL, checkout our Heroku ExpeditedSSL Addon - the fastest, easiest way to secure your Heroku apps.
