Direct traffic drop, SSL issues?

Hello guys,

Maybe someone can help me with this issue.

I noticed that I had a huge traffic drop on my website starting from March 25.
I always thought that was due to organic traffic, but after checking my Google Analytics account, I saw that the traffic lost was in Direct traffic, and this doesn't make sense because it is a difference of thousands of uniques per day.

Today I think I have found the reason:

In my namecheap account, I notice that I had an SSL certificate that has expired on the SAME day that I had the traffic drop. This still doesn't make sense to me because I renewed the SSL certificate on my website and is valid until 2022. I also did an SSL check and everything is fine.

Any idea of what could be?
Maybe a mistake renewing the SSL certificate?
Do I need to delete the old SSL certificate from my Cpanel?

Please let me know if you can help me with this

Thank you!

Thank you and a Happy Easter to everyone!
