Overview

SSL is what allows your site to use HTTPS. It encrypts traffic between your visitor and the website and is important for trust, browser warnings, and general website security.

Simple Ways to Check

• Visit your website using https and see if it loads securely
• Look for a padlock or secure connection indicator in the browser
• Review the SSL status tools in cPanel if available

Signs SSL Is Not Working Properly

• The site only loads on http
• The browser shows a certificate or mixed content warning
• Some images or scripts still load over non secure URLs

What to Do Next

If the certificate appears active but the site is still loading insecure content, the issue may be with internal links, images, scripts, or a missing redirect to HTTPS.
