Resolve AWS SSL for Next.js
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
My production Next.js site is hosted on AWS, and browsers are currently flagging it as “Not Secure.” I already issued an AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) SSL certificate, but the padlock never appears, so visitors still see the insecure-connection warning.
I suspect the problem is tied to domain validation or an incorrect ACM attachment, yet I’m not sure how to verify the domain ownership steps within ACM or where the configuration is breaking down—CloudFront, an ALB, Route 53 records, or elsewhere.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Inspect the existing ACM certificate, confirm (or complete) domain validation, and attach it to the correct AWS resource.
• Update DNS/Route 53 records if required and propagate changes.
• Force HTTPS, test in all major browsers, and show the green padlock on every route of the Next.js app.
• Leave automatic renewal in place and supply brief notes of what you changed so future renewals remain seamless.
Once everything is passing SSL checks (e.g., SSLLabs A grade) and the site consistently loads over HTTPS, the job is done.
