How To Fix The Not Secure Warning In Chrome
Fixing this issue will vary depending on your hosting provider and the complexity of your website. For a smaller website, the fix can be fairly easy and many hosting companies will sell you an SSL certificate for under $100 per year. There are also some free ways to fix this by using Cloudflare for your SSL. The price for Cloudflare starts at $0 per month and will probably be sufficient for most smaller websites.
