I kept on seeing SSL on my website - finally decided to search YouTube. The little SSL reminder has disappeared and Im now up to 81%. A lot better than 57%.

[Moonlightify]

I have done the video, I have activated SSL with the same settings but I do not know why it remains 50% and it says the certificate is valid until November 2023 =O
