It looks like your certificate expired.

Since it's just a DV certificate from Comodo, have you considered switching to Let's Encrypt? Its automated systems could have helped you automatically update.

Yeah, totally on me for letting this expire. Sorry everyone :/ Lesson learned. We may switch to Let's Encrypt once they add wildcard support, which seems to be next year.

It's a wildcard certificate, which isn't supported by Let's Encrypt yet.

Site appears to be hosted in AWS. Lots of free SSL goodness to be had from Amazon as well.

It's stretching into off-topic land here, but could you suggest any AWS SSL resources that are worth investigating?

AWS has Certificate Manager which provisions free certificates and manages renewals automatically. Usable across ELB, Cloudfront, etc.

It's Heroku for Stackshare: https://stackshare.io/stackshare/stackshare

Uploadcare does not have issues with certificates and we're indeed going to switch to ACM for some of the endpoints.
