Screenshot of the error

Adding more context -
Certificates seem to be in order
Cloudflare shows that the majority of our Traffic Served Over TLS in the last 24 hours is insecure.
Always Use HTTPS is disabled in cloudflare

You are using Shopify and your DNS records are not Proxied so requests go to Shopify’s Cloudflare account, not through yours, so you are only seeing requests for your non-Shopify records…

You can now proxy the DNS records so you can see all requests pass through your domain first…

The SSL certificate for the domain seems ok and HTTP seems to be being redirect to HTTPS ok.

This should be enabled.

Thanks sjr. Setting enabled. However, does that setting resolve anything if our DNS records are not proxied? Sounds like all website traffic bypasses our account.

How does the DNS records config relate to the issue I’m experiencing?

It doesn’t, but you mentioned this…

…which can’t apply to your domain and www as they are not proxied so requests go to Shopify, not through your account. If you want to see all the requests in your Cloudflare analytics, you need to proxy the records.

The SSL certificate is currently ok and the site is redirect to HTTPS so the reason why some users are getting that message is unknown. It may be an issue local to them.

If you were me, what would you do to attempt to resolve the issue? What steps would you take from here? This is not my area of expertise.

You would need to find out the location and ISPs, preferably the IP addresses, that the visitors are coming from. The site configuration is ok so it’s a case of finding out if there is a local problem (such as blocking, bad DNS, connection interception or filtering, etc).
