SSL active but wont work

The error message NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error suggests that the SSL certificate that’s sent to your browser is not created by a trusted SSL certificate provider.

However, since your domain is using Cloudflare, this error refers to the certificate that’s used to secure the connection between your visitors and Cloudflare. This is not affected in any way by the SSL settings or website settings on our hosting - the connection never makes it that far.

The current certificate also seems to be working fine from here.

If it’s also working for you now, then it’s probably just setup delay. Cloudflare needs a few hours to setup your SSL certificate, and DNS changes can take longer than that to be visible everywhere. That’s all completely normal.

If it still isn’t working for you, then it’s something else. What’s clear is that the issue only appears to be affecting you: @Meishin, myself and that Geocerts scanner you tried all show that your website has a valid SSL certificate.
