- Navigate to the SSL Rating tab from there.
- Here you will be provided with a comprehensive breakdown of your site’s SSL rating and grade, as well as a series of functions that would improve said grade and rating and whether those functions have been installed/enabled on your site or not.
- Installing and enabling each of these functions will subsequently boost your websites SSL score till your reach a point where you are comfortable with the provided statistics.
