Unfortunately, you didn't actually install the certificate. The certificate you see with ssl-checker is a self-signed cert, _not_ one from Let's Encrypt.

Well, I installed from [https://www.sslforfree.com](https://www.sslforfree.com)

I did it with other sites. [www.codigoprofesional.com](http://www.codigoprofesional.com) without problema also you can check [www.lacitosycintillos.com](http://www.lacitosycintillos.com) already has a certificate f created from [www.sslforfree.com](http://www.sslforfree.com). they says that the certificares come from letsencrypt.

Your other sites do present valid Let’s Encrypt certificates, but the [elsazonvenezolano.com](http://elsazonvenezolano.com) one presents a very different certificate.

````auto
 Certificate:
    Data:
        Version: 3 (0x2)
        Serial Number: 15706018259109459200 (0xd9f6fc648204b500)
    Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption
        Issuer: CN=fake, O=My Company Name LTD., C=US
        Validity
            Not Before: Sep 29 01:34:41 2016 GMT
            Not After : Feb 15 01:34:41 2044 GMT
        Subject: CN=fake, O=My Company Name LTD., C=US```

(Skipping some additional data.)

*Something* must be different about your configuration, even if it's only a typographical error in the name of the virtual host or something. You do have valid certificates

https://crt.sh/?q=elsazonvenezolano.com

but they're simply not being *presented* by your server to visitors, which has to be a site configuration problem somehow.
