Hi Kenneth,

Firstly, because they can. Also it will help to imporove the overall security for everyone.
Secondly, at this point it is already too late to get a longer one for a website. You will need to get a 1 year cert now.

Stay Safe

It’s a bit of a pain having to renew annually, but I suppose it’s better for security in the long run. Might have to look into a proper ACME setup to save myself the hassle.

I’ve already started migrating my personal projects to Let’s Encrypt, though I know some folks will miss the simplicity of buying a couple of years upfront. Hopefully, the automation tools become even more straightforward to make the switch less of a faff.

Not sure why they’re ditching them, but I suppose it’s another change we’ll just have to get on with.

I’ve already got a couple of domains on two-year certs, so I’m glad I renewed them before the August deadline. Now I’ll just have to get used to renewing annually again, though I suppose it’s not too much hassle if you’ve got your own CA or want to tinker with Let’s Encrypt.

You’ll have to stick to the shorter validity periods from now on, which is a bit of a nuisance for smaller sites. Hope you manage to wrap up any pending renewals before the August cut-off.
