Have you ever logged on to your website and you noticed that your website was not secure? If you have, you definitely need to get that fixed and let’s go over a couple of different fixes that you can do right away. Welcome to Casey’s SEO. So, if you’ve ever seen that Https on your WordPress site is not secure, it’s a couple of different reasons. Either your SSL certificate expired, which can happen if you try to get a free certificate, or if your payment period has ended.

Another reason maybe you never actually made your website secure. And if that is the case, you need to either one, purchase an SSL from your hosting provider or activate your SSL from your hosting provider. So for me, I’ve done this both ways. I’ve hosted with either HostGator or GoDaddy in the past. And the one downside with hosting with some companies is you have to pay an additional fee for an SSL.

Now, those fees can range anywhere from forty dollars to sixty dollars a year, and that will just depend on the hosting provider. But for the past few years, I’ve been hosting with In Motion Hosting, and one key that I like with that hosting provider is they give you unlimited access to SSL. Once you’re in your cPanel and you’ve created your WordPress site, all you have to do is update your SSL. And 99% of the time your SSL will automatically be activated. But sometimes it is not.

And then it is kind of a pain in the butt because you have to do it over and over. And then sometimes you may have to reach out to your hosting provider to activate that for you. But in the long run, if you have multiple sites, it may save you anywhere from say, 300 plus dollars per year on multiple SSLs. So those are just a couple of different ways that you can activate your SSL if you see your site is not activated. So, contact your hosting provider, either pay for that SSL or try to get that SSL activated by yourself.
