TLS certificate is being provisioned. This may take up to 15 minutes to complete

Question

I see this message when trying to enforce https on my github pages website with a custom domain, which I registered through GoDaddy. The message showed up when I first linked my custom domain, but it's still there a week later.

Other Context:

• I added A records on GoDaddy pointing to the github pages IP addresses.
• When I attempt to access my website on mobile, it says that the website is being parked by GoDaddy.

What might be preventing the certificate from going through?

Answer 1

I found the solution here. The problem was that I hadn't deleted the A record that GoDaddy automatically includes, parking your website. I deleted this A record and the certificate went through within a few minutes.

This question describes a different problem with the same solution.
