  • Do you have a valid SSL certificate installed on your website?

    Since you didn’t post the URL I can’t check, but you can use this tool:

    Simply enter in the URL of your website and make sure there is a valid and trusted SSL certificate installed.

    If not, check with your web host to see if they offer them. Nowadays most web hosts have Let’s Encrypt which is free and automatic for domains.

    Now my website works again! Thank you!
    My website is now:
