You will receive multiple error messages if your certificate is broken or old. It is possible to hide results from the public by checking "Do not show the results on the boards".

      Check for insecure content

      In most cases, the reason is that your website or the page has 3rd party insecure links and content. That could be images, CSS styles or scripts that are embedded from 3rd party websites without an installed SSL certificate.

      1. Click "F12" in your Chrome browser;
      2. Find "Security" tab;
      3. Check if you have any issues.

      The screenshot below shows that connection is secured and the SSL certificate is valid. However, the "resources" shows "mixed content" confirming the insecure content on your website.
