1. Navigate to the site’s dashboard

5. Verify SSL status
6. Error Messages
Simple SSL supports up to 50 domain names per certificate. If your site has more than 50 domains please reach out to our friendly Happiness Engineers!
Simple SSL does not yet provide the ability to secure wildcard domains. If you’d like to secure subdomains, you’ll want to do so by adding each subdomain individually to the Simple SSL certificate.
If you are pointing DNS via a proxy, like Cloudflare or Sucuri, the Flywheel DNS checker will not be able to confirm that DNS is pointed to Flywheel. If you are sure that DNS is set up correctly, feel free to ignore this warning.
If you’re pointing your domain through Sucuri, please make sure that the Forward Certificate Validation to Hosting setting is enabled to ensure validation.
If Simple SSL fails to validate, you may encounter one of the following error messages:
These error messages indicate that Simple SSL failed to validate because the DNS for one or more domains is not properly pointed to the site’s Flywheel IP address. Check the domain’s DNS settings and try enabling Simple SSL again.
If you run into any issues, you can reach our team via the Flywheel app!
