This is a broad question, but any insight on how to convert this site to HTTPS? The certificate is installed but I'm not sure how to proceed or where to start. I'm told I have mixed content...

Hey, my website is also facing the same issue. Please tell me how to solve the canonical issue. My website is built on WordPress. Please suggest me a good plugin for redirection.
Sorry, but I know nothing of Word Press. I had the ISP install the certificate and simply did a universal find and replace of all http to https links via Dreamweaver. Issue was resolved in a minute. http://www.optodiode.com

Web designers should know how and where to place it and also it their responsibility to suggest to their clients also. https://www.webbygiants.com

If I type in https://www.MySite.com, I get the padlock icon, but if I type in http:// http://www.MySite.com or MySite.com, I get no padlock in the browser.
Do I need to do some type of redirect or something? I cannot find any GoDaddy instructions that I can understand and when I called their Tech Support all they wanted to do was sell me on some SSL upgrade at twice the price.

I finally found this .htaccess instruction in the GoDaddy documentation (buried), which explains how to redirect to https in cPanel/Linux on their shared hosting plans...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?coolexample\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.coolexample.com/$1 [R,L]Seems to be woking so far.

DW now connects to the server instantly, but if I try to sync new files it now takes forever with many "timeouts". Sync used to take about 1-minute, now takes about 20 miutes?
I am also having trouble connecting to my website from all browsers. sometimes it pops right up, sometimes just fails to load completely. Everytime GoDaddy Tech Support tries to go to my site they comment on how fast it loads for them with no problems on their end.
My Safari browser sometimes says "Cannot load - server not responding - could be a local firewall"? I guess my next step may be to clear the .htacess file of all code and see if that helps?
Does nobody on here have a GoDaddy shared hosted account with SSL that can share the exact code in their .htaccess file?
I cannot believe that GoDaddy Tech Support cannot verify the code I entered or point me in the right direction. I had 5 Tech Support phone calls to them today and they just say everything looks great on their end. I don't understand how they can push SSL Certificates and not even tell you what you need to include in the .htaccess file!
BTW - DW is connecting and syncing to ALL my other GoDaddy client sites perfectly - just "my" own site with now SSL that is choking.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]I don't use InMotion, but they have a terrific KB that might help.
https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/ssl/how-to-force-https-using-the-htaccess-fileHere's a link to a generic SSL checker that may help you troubleshoot. I can't believe GoDaddy doesn't have something similar.

I don't know if you're adding that .htaccess code you posted to your site verbatim or if you're leaving the coolexample.com in there just for the forum (guessing that's not your domain name), but if you're using the code as is, I'm pretty sure you need to change both coolexample.com URLs to your own domain name.Posted 4 years ago -

And 'Yes" the "coolexample' is just a placeholder in the GoDaddy sample code.
