How do I add Simple SSL to my site?

Enable SSL

In the Overview tab of the site’s Flywheel dashboard, click the “Enable SSL” link:

Choose your domain

This is where you’ll choose which of your site’s domains you’d like to enable Simple SSL on. We strongly recommend you select your site’s primary domain. 

You can also select a different domain in the site’s domains list if you prefer, or you can get Simple SSL for a new domain that you haven’t added to the site yet. Just bear in mind that your certificate will only work on the domain you select here.

Once you’ve selected (or added) the domain for the cert, proceed to the next step.

Choose Simple SSL certificate

You can choose between a Simple SSL certificate or bringing your own. Just make sure “Simple SSL certificate” is checked and then scroll down to the next section.

Hit the 'Complete SSL Setup' button

Once you hit this button, we’ll send you an email when the activation of Simple SSL is complete. We’ll also automatically Force HTTPS once the SSL is active and installed on the site, for your convenience.

Addressing Failed Validation

If Simple SSL fails to validate, you’ll receive some feedback with suggestions on how to address the issue.
