Sometimes after fixing an SSL certificate, Chrome may still force your site to load as “Not Secure.” This happens because Chrome remembers old security settings using something called HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security).
If this happens to your site, you can clear the HSTS setting in Chrome by following these steps:
Step 1: Open Chrome HSTS settings
Type this address in your Chrome browser:
chrome://net-internals/#hsts
and press Enter.
Step 2: Delete the domain policy
Scroll down to the section called Delete domain security policies.
In the box, type your website domain name (for example: example.com) and then click Delete.
Step 3: Restart Chrome
Close your Chrome browser completely and then open it again.
Now, try visiting your website with https://.
Your site should now load with the correct secure connection.
Wrap up
This is a very common issue when websites move from “Not Secure” to SSL/HTTPS. Clearing HSTS is like asking Chrome to forget the old settings and check again.
