I had the problem with this topic: [Over 20 seconds to open site after renewing SSL certificate!](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/over-20-seconds-to-open-site-after-renewing-ssl-certificate/38886/10)

I could not solve the problem on the server with 100% CPU usage. I created a new instance of ZERO in AWS LigthSail and installed everything I needed, when I got to the HTTPS part, I did exactly as the steps in this article: [https://digitaldavo.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/using-free-](https://digitaldavo.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/using-free-) Letsencrypt-https-ssl-on-bitnami-lamp-on-ec2 /

But I had a problem with when I ran the lets encrypt, below:

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.

My domain is: [http://www.comunitaitaliana.com/](http://www.comunitaitaliana.com/)

I ran this command: sudo ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -w /home/bitnami/htdocs -d comunitaitaliana  
.com -d [www.comunitaitaliana.com](http://www.comunitaitaliana.com)

It produced this output: sudo ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -w /home/bitnami/htdocs -d comunitaitaliana  
.com -d [www.comunitaitaliana.com](http://www.comunitaitaliana.com)

My web server is (include version):  
Apache/2.4.25

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):  
Ubuntu

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:  
AWS Lightsail with bitnami wordpress

I was able to solve this problem myself. For some reason I was copying text from the script execution of a text editor and it was coming with different characters.
