TLS 1.2 Compatibility Test

Description

Payment gateways are now requiring commmunication via TLS 1.2. This plugin will test your webserver for compatibility to ensure there is no outage in your ecommerce application.

If your server is not able to communicate via TLS 1.2, you will be shown the appropriate steps to take to upgrade the server version of OpenSSL, PHP, or direct you to update the SSLVERSION of CURL.

The plugin currently offers testing via these API Endpoints:
* PayPal (https://tlstest.paypal.com/)
* How’s My SSL? (https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check)

Testing against these API Endpoints should validate compatibility for other gateways and APIs, even if you are not using PayPal, for example, on your ecommerce application. However, we do plan to add more tests for API Endpoints provided by popular gateways.

This plugin is a total failure. You cannot trust what it’s reporting. It’s saying TLS 1.2 is not enabled, which is false. After a lengthy call with the stellar support team at InMotion Hosting, it was verified that all shared accounts are using TLS 1.2 or better. I can further confirm this as I was able to activate Apple Pay through the WooCommerce Payments plugin and it mandates TLS 1.2 at a minimum or it would have failed.

Problems reported 8 months ago are not attended to. The tests don’t work anymore. Even though TLS 1.2 is properly enabled in Wordpress, the plugin reports that it’s not. Clearly the author has abandoned this project.

This plugin might be 2 years old (at the point of this review), but it still worked great. Simple and straight-forward. Did just what it claimed, which meant I had a very quick answer.

Changelog

1.0.1

  • Added cURL version to the table with notes to upgrade if below 7.34.0.
  • Improved recommendations in the notes section.
  • Removed Google as an endpoint since it’s testing other things besides TLS 1.2 and doesn’t have a way to parse the response.
  • Removed the “rating” in the notes for How’s My SSL. How’s My SSL returns a lot of data. I’m trying to figure out how to share it.
  • Added link to the PMPro blog post describing TLS 1.2.
  • Updated descriptions in the sidebar/etc.
  • Added banner to repository page.
