In the same place, everything is written in the
Full dashboard, if there is a certificate and SSL is working properly.
Full (Strict), if there are no problems with the certificate (not self-signed, not expired, correct domain)
Flexible, if not sure.
Be careful with HSTS. If the certificate expires, then http users will not be able to enter without "forgetting" the site. It will be especially problematic if there are subdomains on the same domain that need to be accessed only by http.
Their universal certificate will stick out anyway.
