This community continues to amazing me how resourceful it is in our quest to be successful affiliate marketers! I am truly learning something everyday through the genuineness of the people who makes WA.

I requested a SITE FEEDBACK today, This kind WA team member told me that some of our web page were no't SSL Certificate, and we should contact Site Support. Truly I had no idea what he meant... So I followed his advice and emailed Site Support. To my big surprise, I receive a reply literally 2 min after... and with precious information to rectify my issue... so here it is in the hope it helps someone else too. It is too good not to share ;-)

How to verify if your page is secure or not?

If your page is not secure, you should see a question mark in your URL bar, like this picture below

What are the steps to make your page secure?

1. Click on this link: www.whynopadlock.com (this website will analyze your page and tell you what needs to be corrected)

2. Insert your URL address (in the "secure address" section) of your web page you want to correct, then click on "Test Page"

3. When completed, you should see all green checks. At the bottom of the pages, you will see the elements of your page that needs to be corrected. Just follow the explanation to correct it. What seemed to be a repeated error for me was 2 things:

1. I had to title my pictures differently, e.g., for the title (surfers-protect-your-skin) and in the Alt Title (Surfers Protect Your Skin)
2. Make sure my links was HTTPS not HTTP
   

4. Then click on "Test Again"

5. If you rectify everything correctly, you will a lock will appear in your URL bar when you access your page, like this picture:

6. You do steps 1 to 5 for each of your pages, including your blogs.
