SYMPTOM: SSL

Website says “Not Secure”?

A padlock warning scares off visitors fast. Tell us what the browser is telling you and we'll get the certificate sorted.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Visitors see a security warning, not your site

This usually shows up as one of a few things:

  • “Not Secure” next to your address bar
  • A full-page warning about an invalid or expired certificate
  • The padlock is missing, or shows as broken or crossed out
  • Only some pages trigger the warning, not the whole site
WHY IT USUALLY HAPPENS

Almost always one of five things

  • The SSL certificate expired and didn't auto-renew
  • The certificate doesn't match the domain or subdomain being visited
  • Some page elements load over http instead of https (“mixed content”)
  • A recent domain or hosting change broke the certificate setup
  • Cloudflare or another proxy has an SSL mode mismatch with your host
CAN WWW.FIXMYWEB.PAGE HELP?

Yes, and it's usually quick

Most SSL warnings are fixed by reissuing or reconfiguring the certificate within a single Quick Fix session, and we confirm the padlock is back before we call it done. If it's tangled up with a bigger DNS or hosting migration, we'll walk you into Website Rescue instead.
