2. Check which SSL certificate is used for securing domain example.com: Domains > example.com > Hosting Settings.

3. Secure Plesk with an SSL certificate using the instructions from the article How to secure a Plesk hostname on port 8443 with an SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt / other certificate authorities).
