Confirming everything works before you stop thinking about it.

THE BROWSER CHECKS

Visit all four forms in a private window: with and without www, http and https. Each should reach your canonical form with a padlock.

Click the padlock and view the certificate: correct hostname, trusted issuer, valid dates.

Open the developer console and confirm no mixed content warnings on the homepage and on an inner page.

THE ONLINE CHECKS

An SSL testing tool reports the certificate chain, supported TLS versions, and configuration weaknesses, with a grade. A redirect checker confirms a single hop from each starting form.

THE PAGES TO TEST

Homepage An inner page with images A contact form Checkout, if you run a shop The admin login

WHY THE INNER PAGES MATTER

Mixed content frequently affects older content with embedded images while the homepage is clean. Testing only the homepage misses it.

ON MOBILE

Test on a phone as well. Mobile browsers are stricter about certificate chains than desktop ones.
