Issue
-----

I am seeing Universal certificates for the domain is showing "Timed Out Initializing".

![Cloudflare dashboard showing SSL certificate status as "Timed Out Initiating" and an option to enable "Always Use HTTPS."](https://acquia.widen.net/content/a66ad1c0-80d2-4774-9e86-c04d9087c711/web/ka06g000001twQY00N6g00000VCdgi0EM6g000002WbhN.png)

Resolution
----------

Disable the Universal SSL Certificate in the dashboard and re-enable after a few seconds. This will re-order the certificate.
