How can I automatically redirect HTTP to HTTPS?

After installing your SSL, you must enforce an HTTPS redirect. By adding a 301 redirect rule to your server (e.g., editing the .htaccess file), all traffic will be automatically routed to the secure HTTPS connection without needing manual URL updates.

How to fix the 'Not Secure' or Mixed Content warning?

If your SSL is active but the browser still shows a warning, you likely have 'Mixed Content'. This means your secure HTTPS page is loading insecure HTTP resources (like images or CSS). You must update all internal links to use 'https://' to restore the secure padlock icon.

Domain Validation (DV) SSL

Q: Is a Free SSL (Let's Encrypt) just as good as a Paid DV SSL?

While both provide basic encryption, Free SSLs expire every 90 days and offer zero financial warranty. Paid DV certificates from top CAs like Sectigo or Certum offer longer validity, commercial warranties (up to €200,000), static site seals, and better browser trust credibility.

Q: How do I generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)?

You can easily generate a CSR and Private Key via your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel). Simply fill out your domain and organizational details to create the CSR code, and submit it during your SSL checkout process to receive your CRT.
