Technical SEO
HTTPS
Why it matters
HTTPS encrypts the connection and is a confirmed Google ranking signal. Browsers mark plain HTTP pages as “Not secure”.
How to fix it
- Install an SSL/TLS certificate (most hosts offer free Let’s Encrypt certificates).
- Serve every page over https:// and update internal links.
Check it with
- SSL Certificate Checker – Check an SSL/TLS certificate’s validity, expiry date, issuer, hostnames and protocol.
Scoring: a passed check earns its full weight, a warning half and an error none. How the SEO score works
