You can determine if an SSL certificate is active by looking for the following indicators:

1. HTTPS in the URL: When you access your website, the URL should begin with “https://” instead of “http://”. The “s” in “https” indicates a secure connection.
2. Padlock Icon: In the browser’s address bar, there should be a padlock icon. This icon indicates that the website is secured with an SSL certificate. Depending on the browser, the padlock might look slightly different, but it generally represents security.
3. Green Address Bar: Some Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates cause the browser’s address bar to turn green. This provides an additional visual indicator of a secure connection.
4. Certificate Details: You can click on the padlock icon or the “https://” portion of the URL to view the SSL certificate details. This will show you information about the certificate issuer, expiration date, and other relevant details.
5. SSL Checker Tools: There are online tools available where you can input your website’s URL to check if SSL is properly set up and active. These tools often provide detailed information about the SSL configuration of your site.

Remember that if you’ve recently installed an SSL certificate, it might take a little time for changes to propagate across the internet and for the indicators to show up consistently. Web hosting
