Why is my site showing as 'Not Secure' even after SSL installation?

Answer: This usually indicates SSL configuration issues, mixed content problems, or browser cache issues. Here's how to diagnose and fix the problem.

Common Causes:

• SSL certificate not properly installed
• Mixed content (HTTP resources on HTTPS pages)
• SSL not enforced in server configuration
• Browser cache showing old HTTP version
• Incorrect SSL certificate configuration

Diagnosis Steps:

1. Check SSL certificate:

   openssl s_client -connect your-domain.com:443 -servername your-domain.com

2. Test SSL online: Use tools like SSL Labs SSL Test
3. Check browser console: Look for mixed content warnings
4. Verify server configuration: Ensure HTTPS is properly configured

Solutions:

1. Fix Mixed Content Issues:

Ensure all resources (images, CSS, JS) use HTTPS

2. Force HTTPS in Laravel:

// In AppServiceProvider
URL::forceScheme('https');

3. Clear Browser Cache:

Clear your browser cache and cookies, or test in incognito/private mode.

4. Check Server Configuration:

Verify your web server is properly configured for SSL.
