    Deploying Let’s Encrypt certificates:
    Skipped, deploy script not set or not executable.

The site is redirecting http://webrz.net/ to https:/www.webrz.net/, which is missing a / between the scheme and hostname.

Check the Apache configuration for something like "Redirect / https:/www.webrz.net/" and add another "/" so it's "Redirect / https://www.webrz.net/"

Stupid typo - thanks for this.
