It is important protect all your websites with HTTPS, although they do not control confidential communicationsyes In addition to providing critical security and data integrity for your websites and your users' personal information, HTTPS is a requirement for several new browser features.
What is HTTPS
HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure, it is the secure version of HTTP.
Help prevent intruders from interfering with communications between your websites and users' browsers. By intruders, we mean attackers with malicious intent and legitimate but nosy companies like ISPs or hotels that place ads on pages.
Improvements when using HTTPS
- Positioning improvement: Google began to give preference to encrypted sites, boosting their organic rankings against their counterparts that do not have an SSL digital certificate.
- User security: Browsers display the message “It is secure” when accessing a website with a valid SSL digital certificate.
- Avoid security problems: Many phishing attacks have been carried out using web pages that did not have HTTPS. Even large companies such as Correos, Starbucks or WhatsApp have been affected in their day.
The above is certainly not a complete list of reasons to migrate to HTTPS, but it should give you a better appreciation of why it's so important to all website owners. Whether you've just started migrating your sites or are looking for a list of features to check after the migration is complete, we hope this article has helped you.
To get the full benefits of HTTPS, you need to make sure that both of your sites are accessible via HTTPS. This will not only protect any sensitive information transmitted to or from your websites, but will ensure that your sites can take advantage of new browser features in the future.
HTTPS is important because it not only protects the communication between your site and its users, but also improves the loading speed of Internet pages. HTTPS also supports new features in browsers and opens the door to the use of modern cryptographic algorithms and encryption. HTTPS is the future of secure communication between websites.
So this quick overview is meant to get you thinking about HTTPS and help you determine if it's a fit for your website. There are, of course, many other reasons and benefits to HTTPS, but this post is getting long, so I'll cover them in more detail in a later post. In the meantime, my colleague Serg will be posting a similar article on the HTTPS series shortly, so stay tuned!
