Can anyone advice for me a free way to add SSL to my domain?

Thanks
 
My hosting has "Let's encrypt" and I used it for free.
It has been installed succesfully when I manually digit https is working fine but if I write domainname.com it gets redirected to the non https version and then it shows "not safe". How can I fix that?

Try Real Simple SSL plugin to see if it fixes the problem otherwise do it yourself using sslforfree .com

Thank you but I already secured the domain and is working if I visit manually https://domainname.com but it doesn't work if I visit domainname.com
Should I place a redirect on my domain provider? Or how?

This problem has occurred for me under the following conditions:
1. My site had a CloudFlare proxying DNS on it.
2. I was using Force (Strict) configuration on CloudFlare's SSL settings.
3. My site also had Let's Encrypt on my server-side.
4. The website was listening on port 443 and port 80 only redirected to port 443.

In those conditions, CloudFlare might cause such a problem. By disabling proxying you would fix the problem. The other solution was not using Force (Strict) and switching to Force, and if none of the above worked, you have to listen to port 80 and switch the SSL settings to flexible.

After doing all of that, you might get an infinite redirect, you have to restart your web server (if it's NGinx) or disable SSL in general if you're running on Apache. Cloudflare would take care of it.
 
I added some strings on the htaccess file to force https redirect and now is working just fine.
Thank you all!
