SSL Certificates

Free and paid SSL, installing certificates, forcing HTTPS and fixing "Not Secure" warnings.

  1. Free vs paid SSL: which do I need? What SSL does, what's included free with hosting, and when a paid certificate is worth it.
  2. Check that free SSL is working See your certificate status in cPanel and fix it if it hasn't been issued.
  3. Install a paid SSL certificate Generate a CSR, validate your domain and install the certificate in cPanel.
  4. Force your website to use HTTPS Send every visitor to the secure https:// version of your site.
  5. Fix “Not Secure” warnings and a missing padlock Why browsers warn about your site, and how to fix mixed content.
