Hey everyone! I've just launched a new landing page hosted on GitHub Pages and linked it to a new custom domain. However, I'm getting a red warning screen in Chrome saying it's a "Dangerous site," as shown in the attached screenshot. It's only been a few days since I set it up. I'd appreciate any advice or insights on how to resolve this issue. Thanks!

This usually happens because of a false positive on Google Safe Browsing. I recommend checking the Transparency Report from Google to see exactly why it's flagged. You might also want to verify your domain in Google Search Console to clear up any security issues and request a review if necessary.
Most likely, the issue is related to SSL. Make sure your SSL certificate is set up correctly. If you need to, consider getting an SSL certificate to ensure your site runs on HTTPS.
Have you enabled HTTPS for your site? If your URL is still using HTTP, that could be a reason why Google flagged it. Make sure you're using HTTPS instead!
Don't forget that GitHub Pages provides free SSL certificates through Let's Encrypt. If you're not using that, you might want to look into it!
