My Faaaster site shows as "not secure"

First check the certificate status in the site's Domains tab, HTTPS column. If it's active but the browser reports a problem, the most frequent cause is mixed content: resources still loaded over http:// on a site served over https://.

1. Is HTTPS active?

Open the site's Domains tab: the HTTPS column shows the certificate status of each domain — active (with its expiration date), generating…, expired, no certificate or failed. The Recheck DNS and HTTPS button checks this status again. When the certificate is missing or has failed, the row's Generate certificate or Retry button restarts its generation. The certificate is included in every plan.

2. HTTPS is active but the browser complains

In that case it's mixed content: the page is served over HTTPS, but it loads images, scripts or stylesheets over HTTP. The browser shows a crossed-out padlock or a warning.

These http:// addresses usually come from the database — often after a migration or a domain change.

Fix mixed content

There's no button in the interface for this, but WP-CLI is installed on every site and does the job in one command. Connect via SSH, go to www, then:

wp search-replace 'http://your-domain.com' 'https://your-domain.com' --all-tables --dry-run

The --dry-run option shows how many replacements would be made, without changing anything. Check the number, then run the command again without the option.

⚠️ Create a backup first. search-replace rewrites the database, and the operation can only be undone by restoring.

Remember the variants present in your database: with and without www, and the old domain if you're coming from a migration. Each one needs its own pass.

If you'd rather avoid the command line, the Better Search Replace plugin, installed from the WordPress admin, does the same thing with a form and a dry run.

3. After a domain change

If you've just connected a new domain, give the certificate time to be issued (generating… in the HTTPS column of the Domains tab) and clear the site's cache with Clear cache.
