SSL Renew Early?

I received an email that my SSL cert will expire in 31 days. Can I renew early or am I supposed to wait til it expires. And If I do renew early will there be a gap until the renew is active. I remember when I first got it it took a day to be active. TIA.

Yes, you can renew early. You can order a new SSL certificate again and install it. This will replace your current SSL, which has 31 days remaining, with the new certificate.

We send you these early warnings because you should renew early. Only by obtaining and installing a new certificate before your old certificate has expired can you prevent problems for your website due to expired certificate. And if you do it a week or two ahead of time, that also gives you plenty of time to resolve any issues you might run into when obtaining the new certificate.

That said, if the verification CNAME record is still in place, renewing the certificate should be very fast and easy.
