Thanks. Added both, aggregated. If a site has a lot of tools, the start page or the page with the complete tool list is preferred.

One day later: Created this discussion topic and moved the replies.

https://tools.letsdebug.net/cert-search - compared to crt.sh, it understands the PSL, understands Let’s Encrypt’s rate limits, and de-duplicates poisoned/real certificates. Since crt.sh is no longer significantly delayed since some weeks now I’m not sure there’s a great reason to continue to prefer Google’s aggregator over crt.sh.

Edit: looks like I got IP banned by crt.sh, hold off on this suggestion until I can address it …

Edit 2: we wern’t banned, they rotated their IPv4 address and I had them /etc/hosts'd from a time when their IPv6 was flakey. Whoops.

Thanks, now added. Changed the order, so the (now) three tools of active members are listed as (1).
