not show the green lock despite them having a valid SSL

The reason some sites may not show the green lock despite them having a valid SSL is due to mixed content. Mixed Content is when you have some URLs in the sites database which are still set to HTTP rather than HTTPS. You can type the site name in at whynopadlock.com and it will compile a list of all URLs which are still being referenced within the database as HTTP. This list can then be shared with the site developer and they should be able to correct with a search and replace tool on the database.

Also, if these sites are Wordpress, there is a plugin called Better Search Replace which can be installed and used to update the URLs listed at whynopadlock.com. Once all URLs are in HTTPs for the site, then you will see the green lock in the URL bar. Unfortunately an SSL itself does not do this as it only allows for HTTPS protocol to be used in browser without receiving a security warning.
