I installed the SSL certificate, but my site is still not secure – Why?

1. One of the most common reasons why a website which has an SSL Certificate installed continues to show as insecure, is that your website continues to pull content, images or videos from unsecured HTTP links. You need to change all the links that you are pulling content from to HTTPS links, and your website will start showing as secure immediately.
2. The second most common reason why a website may show insecure although you installed an SSL Certificate on it is that your server is outdated and/or doesn’t support the latest TLS settings requirements.
3. The third most common reason why a website may show as insecure although you installed an SSL Certificate on it, is that you and other visitors continue to open your website through an unsecured HTTP link. You should put a redirect in the server configuration file or in the site’s htaccess file, so that whoever enters your website by typing “www.mywebiste.com” should be automatically redirected to https://www.mywebsite.com. With other words, you should put a redirect that sends all users to your secured site. Here are some articles on how to do this.
4. You also might be missing the CA-bundle/Intermediate/Root SSL Certificates.
5. Another problem might be the incorrect SSL installation.
