My Shopify Website Is Flagging a “Deceptive Site Ahead” warning message

Hello! I've just launched my website and I and my friends are encountering a 'deceptive site ahead' warning message whenever we try to click on an external link from my domain minimumbaseline.com. So we can access the site OK but can't click on any links to go to Instagram or Facebook from the site. 

Help?

Hello! It looks like you entered the URLs for your social media incorrectly. When I mouse over your Instagram link for example it says it's going to take me to https://minimumbaseline.com/instagram.com/minimum.baseline which is not a valid website. You'll want to hop into your theme settings and fix that up so it only takes you to instagram.com/minimum.baseline instead and then do the same for the others.

 

For the deceptive site warning, I didn't see that anywhere but that can indicate the website you're going to does not have SSL set up among other things. There's more detailed information about that error here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/monitor-debug/security/social-engineering
