A triangle with an exclamation point next to a URL indicates that your browser considers the website's connection not secure or that it has security issues. It typically means the website is using HTTP instead of HTTPS, lacks a valid SSL certificate, or contains "mixed content" (secure pages loading insecure elements).

What the Warning Means:

Not Private: Information sent to the site (passwords, credit cards) could be intercepted.
Mixed Content: The site is loaded over HTTPS, but some elements (images, scripts) are loaded over insecure HTTP.
Invalid/Expired Certificate: The website's security certificate is not valid or has expired.

What Should You Do?

Avoid entering personal information: Do not enter sensitive data like credit card numbers or passwords on these sites.
Click the icon: In browsers like Chrome or Firefox, clicking the triangle will often provide more details about why the connection is considered unsafe.

If you are the website owner, this means you need to install an SSL certificate or fix mixed content errors.

MAKE YOUR WEBSITE SECURE:
When attempting to logon, did you get a message that your site is not secure or 1001 error code.

Did you recently add Cloudflare? Most likely, you tried to add Cloudflare to secure your website and you've failed to set up the DNS record as directed. Review the platform options below and review your installation to ensure it's correct.
