Browsers display warnings when a website is not properly secured with HTTPS. These warnings can reduce trust, block access for visitors, and indicate configuration issues that need to be resolved.

Common Browser Warnings
- “Not Secure” messages in the address bar
- Certificate expired warnings
- Domain name mismatch alerts
- Security interstitial or blocked page warnings
Why HTTPS Warnings Appear
HTTPS warnings typically occur when one or more of the following conditions are present:
- No SSL certificate is installed
- The SSL certificate has expired
- The certificate does not match the domain name
- The site loads mixed content (HTTP and HTTPS)
How to Resolve HTTPS Warnings
- Install or renew an SSL certificate
- Ensure the certificate covers the correct domain and subdomains
- Force HTTPS redirects where supported
- Update hard-coded HTTP links within the site
After making changes, allow time for updates to apply and clear your browser cache.
Mixed Content Issues
Mixed content occurs when a secure HTTPS page loads resources over HTTP. This can trigger warnings even when a valid SSL certificate is installed.
Common mixed content sources include:
- Images loaded with HTTP URLs
- Scripts or stylesheets using HTTP
- Third-party resources not served securely
Common Problems & Fixes
- If the site still shows “Not Secure,” verify the SSL certificate is active.
- If warnings appear intermittently, check for mixed content.
- If HTTPS loops occur, review redirect and SSL settings.
- If changes don’t reflect, clear browser and server cache.
