Keep your Shopify domain working.

A customer can have the correct address and still be stopped before reaching your products. A browser warning, an invalid HTTPS certificate or an expired domain can interrupt that visit. Domain health checks help you review those problems alongside the copied stores and suspicious addresses Recon finds.

The checks describe specific signals, not an overall promise that your business is safe. A valid certificate means the checked connection can use HTTPS. It does not prove that a site is legitimate. A clear blocklist result means the checked lists did not flag the domain at that time. It does not rule out every threat.

Recon checks your domain against the security lists supported by the app, including Google Web Risk, SURBL and URLhaus. When a domain is listed, review the recorded result and the provider’s explanation. A listing can lead to warnings or filtering in systems that use that source, but different services may use different data.

The app also checks HTTPS certificate validity and expiry. An invalid or expired certificate can cause browsers to warn visitors. On a Shopify-hosted store, Shopify manages much of the certificate setup, so the right next step may be to inspect domain connection status in Shopify rather than trying to replace a certificate yourself.

• How Shopify HTTPS certificates work

Your domain registration is separate from your Shopify subscription. Recon reads available registration details and highlights an approaching expiry date. Use the finding as a prompt to check your registrar account, renewal settings, payment method and contact email. The registrar is the source of truth for the renewal transaction.

An approaching date does not automatically mean your store will go offline. You might have auto-renew enabled, and public registry details can lag behind a change. Confirm renewal with the provider, then let a later check confirm the public record. Keep access to the registrar account with the people responsible for the store.

• Domain expiration and renewal guidance

Open the domain health page to see the check, its result and any next step. Expand the technical details when you need the certificate issuer, dates, security-list results or registrar information. Your team can use those details to investigate with Shopify, your domain provider or the service that published a warning.

If your address appears on a security list, check the store for the reported issue before requesting a review. Record the affected URL and the provider’s response. A removal request is not a completed removal, and different lists can update at different times. Recon keeps later findings in the same place for follow-up.

Domain problems can appear after a new connection, a renewal issue or a reported security incident. Recon repeats these checks on scheduled sweeps, with weekly checks on Free and daily checks on Pro. You can review results in the app and use the plan’s digest to keep your team informed.

These checks complement lookalike and email monitoring. A working domain can still have a clone elsewhere, and an unflagged storefront can still have email records that need attention. Recon keeps the findings separate so a green result in one area does not hide a problem in another.
