I’m about to set up a webshop and a friend of mine took care of the ssl. Now, the site is very slow to load, and my friend said that there are links in the theme that the site is trying to connect to. There might also be a problem with the favicon, logo and a couple of other things running on http and not https. Replaced all http’s with https in css and js files, but still no joy. I usually take care of the marketing part, so this is unfamiliar territory for me. Not sure what else to tell you, so feel free to ask.
Not getting the padlock in the address bar, I get the i with the circle around it. I checked the site with whynopadlock.com and got a “Mixed content tests failed” error.
Also, the slow loading is not an SSL (neither config or certificates) problem. On developer console, google maps are reporting errors since there is no API key.
Few things you can do to reduce the load problem:
Input an API key for Google Maps.
manually change those pictures to https. (pictures imported from other sites)
That’s not quite possible from apache/nginx since it’s using other server (not yours).
However, you can try change the web site url to your https site (https://xxx.xxx/ instead of http://xxx.xxx)
and see if it makes any difference
