An SSL certificate encrypts the connection to your website, shows the padlock in the browser and lets your site load on https://. It’s included free with your hosting.
Check your certificate
- In cPanel, open SSL/TLS Status under Security.
- Look for a green padlock next to your domain and
www. - If any show a problem, tick them and click Run AutoSSL.
AutoSSL can only issue a certificate once your domain points to our servers. After changing nameservers, give it a few hours and run it again.
Send everyone to https://
In cPanel, open Domains and turn on Force HTTPS Redirect for your domain. For WordPress, also make sure both addresses under Settings → General start with https://.
