I've called GoDaddy a few different times and they said that it looks like it is a problem with my HTML file. Except, my HTML file is the basic outline of a webpage, nothing fancy at all.

Chrome still says that the webpage is, "Not Secure" with the big red x over it.

I'm not sure what to do to fix it, I don't have any personal information on the site nor am I collecting any information from visitors (it's sort of an information site). I shouldn't need an SSL certificate because I am not hosting anything privately. Can someone help me fix this please!

This is a move to make the web more secure. Additionally, it protects all visitors to your site. The long-term solution is to implement SSL on your website(s), as all websites will eventually need to adopt the use of SSL certificates.

According to Google's Developer Blog:


Eventually, Chrome will show a Not Secure warning for all pages served
over HTTP, regardless of whether or not the page contains sensitive
input fields. Even if you adopt one of the more targeted resolutions
above, you should plan to migrate your site to use HTTPS for all
pages.


You absolutely need an SSL certificate. I am aware of the fact that they are overpriced at just about every registrar. To save some money, the Linux Foundation has a website which offers free SSL certificates, called * letsencrypt.org although this route may be slightly more labor intensive as it relates to installation vs. simply buying from Godaddy.
