SSL Active in Cloudflare, but Site Still Not Secure (express.ke)
What is the error message?
Not Secure
What is the issue you’re encountering
Hello, I’ve successfully added my domain express.ke to Cloudflare. The Universal SSL certificate shows as active, and I’ve set “Always Use HTTPS” and Auto HTTPS Rewrites to ON. However, when I visit https://express.ke, it still shows as “Not Secure”. DNS points to my web host (AwardSpace), and I’ve also tried clearing cache and using Really Simple SSL. What else can I check or adjust to make the HTTPS padlock appear properly?
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
I added my domain express.ke to Cloudflare, changed the nameservers successfully, and Cloudflare shows the SSL certificate as active.
I enabled “Always Use HTTPS” and “Automatic HTTPS Rewrites” in the dashboard.
On my WordPress site (hosted on AwardSpace), I installed Really Simple SSL, and updated the Site URL to use https://.
I cleared browser + DNS cache, and tested in Incognito.
My DNS is pointing to the correct IP. Still, my browser shows “Not Secure” when visiting https://express.ke.
I haven’t purchased the AwardSpace SSL yet — I’d like to confirm if Cloudflare SSL should be enough.
Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?
No
What is the current SSL/TLS setting?
Full
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
Open a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
Type the full URL:
https://express.ke
Press Enter
Observe the browser’s address bar:
It shows a warning: “Not Secure”
The padlock icon is missing
Inspect the SSL certificate by clicking the (i) or padlock icon:
It may show: “Certificate not valid” or “Issued to a different domain” (depending on how your browser reads it)
