Yes, that is true if I was also checking the status of the connection or content. In this case, all I care about is the sslcert. I would prefer not to do any more tests then necessary - in this case maybe 4 times per day.
Thanks,

Is there a way to limit the number of times a test runs for an sslcert
check? The results of the tests are measured in days and there is no
point in testing this really every 5 minutes.
The sslcert check is essentially "free" - whenever you connect to an
https-webserver, the certificate is provided as part of the SSL
handshake. So there really is no overhead involved in checking this
every 5 minutes.
