Comment (by Ipstenu):

 TBF, if SSL really was broken then yes, talk to your host. But the check
 is flawed so (as a host) we were catching a lot of people freaking out for
 nothing.

 So far we've found the following plugin types/situations can mess this up:

 * Plugins that move/hide wp-admin (they also strip out things to hide it's
 WP)
 * Plugins that legit hide all WP stuff on purpose for 'security' (YMMV,
 but they're used)
 * Caching plugins/services
 * Headless WordPress
