The padlock icon in your browser indicates that your site has an SSL certificate, which encrypts communications between visitors and the server. Because Google now displays a warning in the browser for sites without SSL certificates, it is more crucial than ever to have an SSL certificate on your site.
All Listed Hosting-hosted sites/domains are automatically enrolled in the Auto SSL system, which is available free of charge with all our hosting services. This implies that as long as the domain links to us (through nameservers or A records), the system will automatically obtain and install an SSL certificate for the domain if it does not already have one. This procedure is transparent and does not necessitate your involvement. In most cases, the SSL certificate is requested and installed within 4 hours after pointing the nameservers; however, if it takes longer than this or if your SSL certificate is not working, please let us know.
You just installed SSL and you cannot find the secured padlock and HTTPS in front of your domain.
In fact, your domain still loads with HTTP and the insecured icon is indicating to visitors to beware of your site. Not to worry, this might be due to some insecured links on your website and you need to manually force SSL on your site.
You need to confirm you have the SSL installed on your site, to do this,visit sslshopper.com to confirm SSL has been installed, then proceed to check why it is not secured with a padlock on the browser using https://www.whynopadlock.com/
Simply type in the full URL into the box below and get a report about your website SSL to know if it is fully installed.
Click More Info in front of Force HTTPS, copy and save the code in your notepad as you need to save this code in your .htaccess in your cPanel.
Go to File Manager in your hosting panel
Inside the public_html folder.,open .htaccess If you can’t locate it, make sure to create or unhide it.
Scroll down to find RewriteEngine On and insert the following lines of code below it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This will redirect all http:// queries to https://, however you should only do this when your SSL is configured and operational. If you’re using a CMS like WordPress, make sure to add the https:// in the Site URL and Homepage fields in the wp-admin section. This is necessary in order for pictures, stylesheets, and other files to be loaded via https://.
