After you install the SSL certificate, you should enable https redirection.

1. If you are using WordPress, then install any SSL https redirection plugin, example: Really Simple SSL
2. If you are using Prestashop, login to your administration panel and navigate to (Preference >> General)
3. Otherwise, create (.htaccess) file in (public_html) and add the following code:

   # BEGIN https Redirection

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

   RewriteEngine on

   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,R=301,L]

   </IfModule>

   # END https Redirection

If you have any URLs or images navigating to internal URLs on your website, you should change its URL protocol from "http" to "https".
