"[Your Site] doesn't support a secure connection with HTTPS" in chrome

Hi, I have 60+ websites. I've been using Flexible SSL for years but, within the last few months, I've suddenly started getting this message in chrome (but only sometimes) when accessing the sites. Lately we've discovered that if you wait like 10 seconds, it may just kinda instantly load the actual page without touching anything. Why is this happening and what can I do about it? Thanks!

Could it possibly be related to me including Protocols h2 http/1.1 in my apache2 virtualhost? (without certs) is that confusing the cloudflare edge server?

Flexible means that the connection from Cloudflare to your server is not encrypted. It doesn't have anything to do with the connection between Cloudflare and the client, so it also doesn't have anything to do with the error you see. Same with your Apache config. In general, I would strongly suggest you don't use Flexible. I'd recommend you check in your browser console what IP the client is connecting to when you see the SSL error. It could be the IP is blocked by your ISP or something like that.
