_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._ This is expected on free hosting, and there’s nothing for anyone to fix on the server. The certificate chain is served without the intermediate certificate, and installing intermediates isn’t supported on free accounts. It’s only available on [premium hosting](https://www.infinityfree.com/premium/). Your certificate itself is fine. Browsers fetch the missing intermediate on their own, which is why Google and normal visitors verify the site without trouble. SSL checkers and programmatic clients like `curl` in Termux are stricter, so they report “unable to get local issuer certificate”. Our article on this says it only affects testing tools and programmatic access, not your visitors: > [@SSL checker shows "certificate not trusted" warning](https://forum.infinityfree.com/docs?topic=49697): > > When you check your InfinityFree SSL certificate with online SSL checker tools, you might see a warning like this: The certificate is not trusted in all web browsers. You may need to install an Intermediate/chain certificate to link it to a trusted root certificate. This warning sounds scary, but it’s actually not a problem for your website visitors. What this warning means for your site You can safely ignore this warning. Your site will work perfectly fine with HTTPS for virtually all mode… If you need `curl` to work without errors, you’d have to use [premium hosting](https://www.infinityfree.com/premium/). Otherwise there’s nothing to change, so you can leave the certificate as it is. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/missing-ssl-intermediate-certificate-chain/121597)._
