The cert is now up to date, and I'll bet things will be good if you go back to that website now. Sometimes webmasters forget, or put off renewing their certs, and errors are thrown at clients as a result of expired certs.

The cert is issued by LetsEncrypt - a fine issuer - but generally it is individuals and small operations that use LetsEncrypt (because it is free). Larger commercial operations tend to use paid cert issuers (why, well that's a mystery). And it's the smaller operation webmasters that are occasionally prone to not getting their certs renewed in a timely manner.

Try again and see if it works now.

(I have no affiliation with this website, I just recognized the error that you were reporting)
It was about 15:15 today and the same now although I figured it wouldn't be updated this soon on the weekend. I'll try again next week.
