    Hello @doune,

    It’s a false positive. WordPress believes that because of the:

    1. Response code. The maintenance mode page returns a 503 response code (instead of 200, the regular response code) to indicate that the website is under maintenance (useful for Google bots or any other search engine bot).
    2. HTML structure of the maintenance mode page. The page has a different HTML structure than a regular WordPress theme, and the health check believes something is wrong because some URLs are missing from the output.

    To conclude, there is nothing wrong with your website, with the HTTPS setup, or with the plugin. 🙂
