A free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate enables the padlock and https:// on your site.
- Log in to cPanel.
- Go to Security > SSL/TLS Status.
- Tick your domain (and its
wwwand mail subdomains). - Click Run AutoSSL.
- Wait a few minutes — AutoSSL issues and installs a free certificate automatically.
Note: Most accounts have AutoSSL enabled, so a certificate is issued automatically when a domain is added. If your site still shows "not secure" after install, force HTTPS (article 141) and clear mixed content (article 143).
