Upgraded my site to HTTPS

[gamestoenjoy]

Hi,

I upgraded my site: https://kodibeginner.com from HTTP to HTTPS

Now my site is much more secure and also HTTPS sites have higher ranking in Google.

Excellent milestone for me 😀

Yes I already see small improvment in my Google ranking.

So, only if the website is selling something?

No, even if you don't sell anything it is a good practice.
If your site is not encrypted it is easy to manipulate its code and add malicious code to it.
Chrome will soon show "Not secure" for HTTP sites which will be very bad for those sites owners.
Also as I wrote it has some affect on your ranking in Google.

Chrome now displays "Not secure" next to the address bar for HTTP sites.
If a user enters a HTTP site and see "Not secure" he may leave the site immediately becuase of this message.
So I moved to HTTPS exactly in the right time 😀

Indeed, but there still a lot of HTTP sites.
I am not sure that all sites owner know about this issue and also if they know about it, I am not sure they will make the move.

We're moving over to https soon as well. All in preparation for the launch of our newly redesigned site in the future.

Congratulations on updating your site to SSL. It's more secure than the standard encryption so a great improvement to your community

@gamestoenjoy Awesome. I really should do this for my site. Did you notice an increase in traffic at all?
