Your GoDaddy website<\/a> is showing the \u201cNot Secure\u201d message, and you don\u2019t know why? There are a few possible reasons for this, though it\u2019s not necessarily because you\u2019re using an unsecured connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow this guide to remove the \u201cNot Secure\u201d message quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is your GoDaddy site not secure?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n \n\n

The reasons for your GoDaddy<\/a> site to have a \u201cNot Secure\u201d message have to do with your connection or whether you\u2019re using HTTP or HTTPS. Moreover, the problem may not be that you\u2019re using the wrong connection but that the proper connection isn\u2019t working. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"godaddy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are using the HTTP protocol <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re using an HTTP connection, Google Chrome, and Firefox will mark your GoDaddy site as not secure. That\u2019s because HTTP lacks encryption and verification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the two, HTTP is less secure and marks your GoDaddy site as not secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"http<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not using HTTPS <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

HTTPS is the same as HTTP, but it includes encryption and verification, which contribute to the safety of the GoDaddy site. If you\u2019re not using an HTTPS connection, your site probably shows the message \u201cNot Secure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your HTTPS isn\u2019t working properly <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re using HTTPS, you can also sometimes see the \u201cNot Secure\u201d message, which means that your HTTPS isn\u2019t working correctly, usually due to an out-of-date browser, a VPN<\/a>, an antivirus, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three ways you can fix the not secure message <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n \n\n

There are several ways to fix the \u201cNot Secure\u201d message on your GoDaddy site, and the easiest is to install an SSL certificate to set up an encrypted connection between a server and a client. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1. Buy an SSL certificate <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An SSL certificate should be bought from a trustworthy source since it represents a type of identification of your GoDaddy site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoDaddy<\/a> offers several SSL certificate services for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Install an SSL certificate with your web host <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve bought an SSL certificate, it\u2019s time to install it on your GoDaddy site. You can easily install the SSL certificate you purchased through your cPanel<\/a> and under the SSL\/TLS section.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Change your GoDaddy URL after installing an SSL certificate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you bought and installed an SSL certificate and it\u2019s still showing the \u201cNot Secure\u201d message, you can change the URL from HTTP to HTTPS manually<\/a>. Save the changes, and your GoDaddy site should be secure now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox sometimes label a website \u201cNot Secure\u201d because it uses an HTTP connection. Switching to an HTTPS connection will secure the site, and the message will disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, doing this is relatively straightforward. By buying and installing an SSL certificate and changing the URL, your GoDaddy website won\u2019t show the \u201cNot Secure\u201d message anymore.<\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
