Lack of Safari updates?

I'm running Safari 11.1.2 on OS X El Capitan 10.1.6 using a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009. Of late I regularly encounter a failed to open page issue: "Safari can't open the page ... because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "..."

How do I fix this?



MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11
