“Not secure” in the address bar.
We fix it the same day.
Mixed content, expired certs, redirect loops, Cloudflare SSL-mode mismatches, hardcoded HTTP assets. A senior engineer fixes the database, cleans the theme, re-provisions the cert, and confirms a clean padlock across browsers.
- Mixed content cleared from database & theme files
- Cert renewed, chain verified, Cloudflare mode correct
- HTTP→HTTPS 301 + HSTS with
includeSubDomains - No more redirect loops (even with Cloudflare proxy)
- Clean padlock verified across Chrome, Safari, Firefox
If any of this is on your screen right now, this is the right fix.
You don’t need to diagnose the handshake. If you’re seeing one of these, start the fix. We’ll pinpoint the cause on intake.
wp-admin forces HTTP, or images break after migration.From red padlock to clean, green padlock in three clear steps.
No “install Really Simple SSL and pray.” Senior engineer, database-level clean-up, verified across browsers.
Baseline scanned. Cause identified.
Chrome DevTools audit, cert chain check, Cloudflare SSL mode read, server TLS config review. We know within 15 minutes whether it’s a cert, a database, a theme, or a CDN issue.
Database cleaned. Theme patched.
WP-CLI search-replace across the database for hardcoded HTTP URLs, grep across theme & child theme for http:// references, wp-config set correctly, Cloudflare mode flipped to Full (strict) where needed.
Clean padlock verified. Report sent.
Cert renewed & auto-renew confirmed, HTTP→HTTPS 301 enforced, HSTS headers added, green padlock verified across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. You get a short report + Loom walkthrough so you know exactly what was fixed.
Really Simple SSL masks mixed content, it doesn’t fix it.
Force-rewrite plugins rewrite URLs on output, which hides mixed content until the plugin deactivates or the output cache rebuilds. That’s technical debt. Here’s what a real fix looks like.

| Database actually cleaned (not rewritten on output) | No | No | Yes |
Theme & child-theme grep for http:// |
No | No | Yes |
| Cloudflare SSL mode set correctly | No | Partial | Yes |
| Redirect-loop root cause identified & fixed | No | Partial | Yes |
HSTS + includeSubDomains configured safely |
No | No | Yes |
| TLS 1.2/1.3 only, weak ciphers disabled | No | Partial | Yes |

People who were where you are right now.
“Spent a whole morning trying to fix ‘too many redirects’ on our Cloudflare site. Ainygo flipped the SSL mode to Full strict, cleaned a hardcoded HTTP in the database, and we went from broken to a clean green padlock in about an hour.”
“Mixed content warnings after a migration. Really Simple SSL hid it, but Chrome still nagged. Ainygo did it the right way, and actually cleaned the 4,200 old URLs out of the database. Lighthouse went green.”
“Cert expired, Let’s Encrypt auto-renew was silently broken for months. Ainygo found it was a.well-knownblock in an.htaccessrule. Renewal works again, padlock is clean, total cost was less than one hour of my time.”
Fixed at the root, not masked in the output.
A proper SSL fix is four layers: certificate (valid and auto-renewing), server config (TLS 1.2/1.3 only, HSTS), application (no HTTP URLs in the database or theme), and CDN (correct Cloudflare SSL mode). We fix all four.
