If you’ve ever opened your WordPress site and seen a big red message on Google Chrome that said, “Your connection to this site is not secure,” you know how stressful it can be. That warning makes you panic right away, whether you have a small business website, a personal blog, or an online store. It doesn’t just change how people see your website; it also affects trust, SEO rankings, and even conversions.
The good news? Even if you’re a complete beginner, you can fix this problem. Most of the time, the warning is caused by something simple, like an SSL certificate that has expired, mixed content, or a misconfiguration that you didn’t even know you had.
I made a simple YouTube video that explains exactly why this warning shows up and how to fix it step by step on your WordPress site. The video is easy to understand, useful, and shows real-life examples so you can follow along without getting lost.
You can watch the video right here.

Why Chrome Shows the “Not Secure” Warning
The message may look scary, but it’s just Chrome’s way of keeping users safe. The browser is just letting people know that your site isn’t encrypted correctly.
Here’s a simple explanation that anyone can understand:
1. Your SSL certificate may be missing or out of date.
Browsers know that your website is safe because of SSL certificates. Chrome will immediately flag it if it runs out of time or isn’t installed.
2. You’re using HTTP instead of HTTPS.
If your website loads as “http://” instead of “https://,” Right away, Chrome marks it as unsafe.
3. You Have Mixed Content on Your Site
This means that some parts of your page, like images, scripts, or fonts, are still loading over HTTP. This warning can still show up even if you have SSL installed.
4. A problem with the server or hosting
Sometimes, especially with shared hosting plans, your hosting environment doesn’t turn on SSL correctly.
The video goes into great detail about all of this and how to check each one.
Why This Fix Will Matter More in 2025
People today won’t stay on a website that Chrome says is unsafe. And starting in 2025, new Google rules mean that security warnings can also affect your:
- Search engine ranking
- Page visibility
- Customer trust
- Conversion rate
- Ad eligibility (for those running ads)
It’s no longer optional to have a secure website. It’s the basis for everything, from trust to sales.
That’s why this tutorial was made: to help beginners understand the problem and fix it without getting too stressed out.
