I see I got 525: SSL Handshake error returned when I visit your Website.

In case you will not use e-mail, you are good to go with Cloudflare Origin CA certificate on cPanel.

May I ask what SSL option have you got selected under the SSL/TLS tab at Cloudflare dashboard for your domain ( Flexible, Full, Full Strict … )?

Unencrypted & unverified connections Imagine you open Paypal and suddenly get that warning [image] Would you continue? Probably not. For decades leaders in IT security have advocated that people upgrade their sites from unencrypted HTTP to secure HTTPS. And for a reason, everything you send via an HTTP connection is sent in plain text and can be intercepted at any point between you and the server. Equally, you’d probably not proceed if you got such a warning, right? [image] That’s when th…

May I ask have you got any HTTP to HTTPS redirection set on your cPanel web hosting?

How about the options at Cloudflare dashboard under the SSL/TLS tab → Edge certificates:
