Browsers are saying that something is not trusted

If your website is showing a "Not Secure" warning, the most common reason is that the SSL certificate may not be installed correctly. You can check this by clicking on View Certificates when you get the error message to see if the domain name on the SSL certificate matches the domain name in the URL you are going to.
