###How can I remove an SSL certificate?
Your website is forcing http to https, remove that first.
From the control panel. Just click the âDelete Certificateâ button, then reload the page to make sure it worked.
How?
No. Hasnât worked.
Why would you want this in the first place? What situation are you trying to achieve on your website?
I donât want the hassle of renewing it every few months. Further, the site is information only and does not collect visitorsâ details in any way.
But howâs this for you? The site is still showing as âsecure connectionâ and when I go into it, the certificate is showing as issued by Kaspersky and is vallied from 17/11/21 until 16/11/22. I didnât apply for this certificate and didnât start work on building the site until February 2022, so why was the certificate issued in November last year?
So then just donât renew it? No matter if you have an expired certificate, invalid certificate, self signed certificate or no certificate, people will see an error if they try accessing your site over HTTPS.
If you want people to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, then just make sure that all URLs linking to your website (internally and externally) use HTTP. Youâll need to do that yourself.
Not having an SSL certificate doesnât automatically make people who try to connect with HTTPS go to HTTP. Thatâs now how SSL works.
I say this to almost everyone who asks how to delete their certificate: whatever youâre trying to accomplish, deleting the certificate isnât going to help you do it.
What I see, and what external checkers see, is that youâre using a fairly new GoGetSSL certificate: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=monasticbells.dennisgreenwood.co.uk
Are you using a Kaspersky security product on your device? If so, that system is responsible for it. The most likely way this could happen is if Kaspersky (or something pretending to be Kaspersky) injected their certificate into your deviceâs certificate store so they can intercept the secure connection between your browser and any sites you visit.
Yes, Kaspersky installs its own cert when browsing websites.
