SSL installed, but will only work if I use the https:// protocol. my domain name is testedandtrusted.com.ng … if I type the domain name to the address bar, it will load and say not secure, unless I manually put the https protocol

Hi @Bayo

@Bayo

my domain name is testedandtrusted.com.ng … if I type the domain name to the address bar, it will load and say not secure, unless I manually put the https protocol

sounds like you don't have redirects http -> https.

Yep, checked your domain via https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=testedandtrusted.com.ng

You have a new certificate.

CertSpotter-Id	Issuer	not before	not after	Domain names	LE-Duplicate	next LE
962690111	CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3, O=Let's Encrypt, C=US	2019-06-12 00:41:05	2019-09-10 00:41:05	mail.testedandtrusted.com.ng, testedandtrusted.com.ng, www.testedandtrusted.com.ng - 3 entries	duplicate nr. 1

But your connections:

Domainname	Http-Status	redirect	Sec.	G
• http://testedandtrusted.com.ng/
31.31.196.194	200		0.163	H
• http://www.testedandtrusted.com.ng/
31.31.196.194	200		0.167	H
• https://testedandtrusted.com.ng/
31.31.196.194	200		0.694	N
Certificate error: RemoteCertificateNameMismatch
• https://www.testedandtrusted.com.ng/
31.31.196.194	200		0.607	N
Certificate error: RemoteCertificateNameMismatch

There is no redirect http -> https. And the certificate is wrong.

CN=*.hosting.reg.ru, OU=Domain Control Validated
	24.01.2019
	25.01.2020
expires in 227 days
	*.hosting.reg.ru, hosting.reg.ru - 2 entries

So first you should install the certificate. Then add redirects http -> https.
