SSL and "Your connection isn't private"

You do not need to buy an SSL certificate

Superblog issues and renews a free SSL certificate for your domain. Your blog is always served over https.

"Your connection isn't private" after connecting a domain

This warning appears when your browser reaches your blog before its certificate is ready. It is normal right after you connect a domain.

Superblog can only issue the certificate once your DNS records have reached it. That usually takes 5 to 30 minutes, and occasionally up to 48 hours.

  1. In Custom Domain, click Refresh Status.
  2. When it says Active, the certificate is issued. Reload your blog.

If the status stays Pending Validation, see Speed up DNS propagation.

If you use Cloudflare in front of your blog

Set SSL/TLS > Overview in Cloudflare to Full. Other modes can cause redirect loops or certificate errors.
