NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID after update to Chrome 44

Question

After Chrome was updated to the latest version, 44, my site does no longer load. Site URL: www.vintagevibes.nl

The error message:NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID is shown.

'Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.vintagevibes.nl (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID"

I have tried all other browsers and they work fine, as well as older versions of Chrome. Same problem occurs in the latest beta of Chrome 45.

Any ideas? Thanks!
