 * I’ve used the plugin, works perfectly. Now do I need to keep it installed or 
   can I deactivate and remove it?

 * It depends, if you need the mixed content fixer, you need to keep it. Check by
   disabling it in settings/ssl/settings.
 * If you want to remove it, do not deactivate through dashboard, but just rename
   or remove the plugin folder. Otherwise your site will revert back to http.
