Just tonight Safari is blocking my site ([alanmarsden.me](http://alanmarsden.me)), stating it is not secure. I can click a few links to get through. The https appears ok, but grateful to know what I can do. ---

Sorry about that issue – you should be set now! We’re looking into issues with our automatic certificate processes right now, as this seems to be affecting several people. So while we work on a fix, everyone should let us know if they add a custom domain and notice any issues. That way we can ensure everything works smoothly! ---

After a refresh, Safari on my iPad is showing your site as secure. ![image](https://discuss.write.as/uploads/default/original/1X/1825fbd8054091e756248d87c3c63baaef5c60ef.jpeg) ---

You’re all set now, @martingl! * * * As an update for everyone, we’re getting very close to a solution and should have it in place within the next week! With the new system, certificates will be generated on-demand, meaning much less time waiting for them to be added to your site. I’ll keep you all updated here when that’s in place. ---

Our new SSL certificate system is live now! With this, no one should see these kinds of issues anymore. More about this update here: > [@Improved SSL certificate generation](https://discuss.write.as/t/improved-ssl-certificate-generation/2127): > > We’ve just revamped how SSL certificates are generated on Write.as, so getting new custom domains online should be much smoother now! Our previous process, which could involve some delay while we checked your domain, has been replaced by an on-demand process, which creates the certificate on the very first visit to your site. So, after [setting up your custom domain](https://howto.write.as/setting-up-a-custom-domain), you might notice a minor delay on your first visit as we create the certificate for the very first time.
