 * Although all the necessary pages get the secure lock, the WooCommerce status 
   report page in the admin shows a warning: “Your store is not using HTTPS”

 * This seemingly occurred following the WooCommerce 3.0 update
 * Is this cause for concern? Is there a way to get Woo to understand that secure
   content is fixed?

 * G’day [@halfacre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/halfacre/),
 * That’s because your website isn’t set to run only from HTTPS:

 * Verify that your site works on HTTPS on all pages, then change your WordPress
   URL and Site URL to both use HTTPS:
 * Settings > General

 * Thanks for the reply, webaware. Is it necessary to set to run only as https even
   if it’s only needed on checkout pages? Will changing these settings affect the
   ability of users to reach the site via http (say, via a bookmark or from external
   links)? Thank you again!

 * No, it’s not necessary; you can run on http for pages with no password fields
   and no checkout. You just won’t get that green tick on the WooCommerce status
   report if you don’t have the shop page on https.
 * There are other advantages to having your site on https, however. If your web
   server supports http/2 (or you use a transparent like Cloudflare that does), 
   your website will load faster for most visitors. You will also get slightly better
   SEO scoring from Google.
 * You’ll need to research the SEO effects of changing from http to https. I believe
   that there are some things to be aware of.
 * cheers,
    Ross
