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.

SSL Certificate FAQ

Q1: What is a Domain Validation (DV) SSL Certificate?

A Domain Validation (DV) SSL Certificate is the most accessible website security solution designed for a single domain. It requires no corporate paperwork—just a simple Email or DNS verification to prove domain ownership. It provides strong HTTPS encryption, instantly removing browser "Not Secure" warnings.

Q2: 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.

If your SSL is active but the browser still displays a warning or no padlock, it is usually due to "Mixed Content".
