Due to the importance of SSL Certificates, it is always a good idea to ensure that your websites SSL Certificate remains active and valid.

I would strongly urge you to check your SSL Expiry Date and to make a note of it, allowing you to come back and check that it has been renewed successfully.

This is even more important when you are not in direct control of your own SSL Certificate, such as is the case here at Wealthy Affiliate where our SSL's are usually renewed automatically every three months.

That's why I love WA. I actually learn something new every single day haha!

I had no idea about this hahaha.

Thanks for this training Chrys...

By the way, if Google tends to penalize sites that aren't secure, how come I see sometimes sites not secured on the first page of Google?

You're welcome Warren :-) And it might be a new temporary issue, that Google is providing the benefit of doubt to for a couple of days. Without seeing the exact sites, I can't give a definitive answer

Thank you very much for this helpful guide! I checked the SSL Certificate and it is valid and has a couple months until it renews,some members gave me site feedback yesterday showing that it said non secure so after all these checks and seeing it is valid, I hope this is no longer a problem.

Greatly appreciated!

You’re welcome and glad your SSL Certificate is ok, however, if members are seeing a “Not Secure” message, then this is something different and more than likely due to images using http instead of https.

The post below contains the steps you need to take for every page/post that shows as not secure

Hi Christopher,
Thanks so much for the information. I’m going to check now. Interesting, I had similar issue recently, but I was told that my PHP code language is what has expired which I planned to contact site support tech to help me update it.
Great training.

You're welcome Benson :-) If your website is running PHP 7.2 or 7.3 then you are ok and have nothing to worry about. SiteSupport will be upgrading their servers to 7.4 at some point in the future.

Ok because that’s what they said that is slowing my speed which will affect my ranking negatively.
Now that you mentioned, I will just wait them.

Who's they? PHP 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 will not slow your website down
