Cloudflare will transition all new Let’s Encrypt certificates to the ISRG Root X1 chain on May 15, 2024, ahead of the IdenTrust cross-signed chain’s expiration on September 30, 2024, which may affect a small share of legacy clients (notably Android ≤7.1.1). The report provides impact metrics, recommends updating trust stores and avoiding certificate pinning, and notes Enterprise options to switch to Google Trust Services, positioning the change as part of advancing a more agile, secure PKI ecosystem.
