SSL sites showing as insecure due to mixed content

Question

Why does my website still show unsecured even though I have a signed SSL installed?

Answer

You've already used cPanel's AutoSSL tool to get your free certificate setup, and you've enabled the Force HTTPS option in the "cPanel / Domains" page, but the browser still shows a warning when you access your site with an https connection.

This problem happens when portions of the page are using insecure (http) links. You may see something like this in Firefox:

and something like this in Chrome:

To get the SSL working properly in the browser, you'll want to make sure all the links in the site's code also use https. Once that is resolved, the SSL will no longer show that mixed content warning in the browser and your sites are fully secured. The whynopadlock site is a great resource for reviewing the site content for HTTP URLs.
