🚧Troubleshooting common SSL issues

If you've successfully completed the instructions but trying to access your platform with https:// just isn't connecting without any kind of obvious failure message, it's usually a simple browser caching issue.

Try the following:

  • Incognito mode

  • A different web browser that's never accessed your platform before, ie if you were using http:// in chrome before you enabled SSL, try the new https:// site in Firefox or Safari

  • Use "is it up?" sites like this one: https://isitup.org/arrow-up-right

"Too many redirects" error on Chrome

This usually means your registrar is interfering with your SSL configuration by having already enabled their own Let's Encrypt implementation on your domain using a wildcard certificate.

See our Hostinger warning page for an example of this in action:
