move HTTP to HTTPS

For internet security issues, Google cares deeply. Google really cares about the user experience and the trust that the site gives to its visitors. Google announced on February 9 that starting July 2018, the site must have additional SSL for HTTPS certificates to users, or the site will be punished by Google. This provision is an update from Google in 2018 which of course can affect your site.

 HTTP to HTTPS
Switching from HTTP to HTTPS becomes mandatory
The reason why migration from HTTP to HTTPS is mandatory, there are two reasons, namely

For the good and security of the site owner itself with a protocol that uses HTTPS, not HTTP.
Google will expressly warn your site visitors that your site is not a safe site to search so that it leads to a high bounce rate. In the end the site will be quiet and most likely will no longer be on the start page of search engine results.
Especially considering that Chrome, which in fact belongs to Google, is a browser that is widely used by internet users, approximately 50% around the world, has prominent notifications if the sites visited do not use HTTPS.



If your site visitors get a warning that the site you are visiting is currently "Unsafe", visitors will close immediately and can increase the bounce rate. Finally it will affect ad impressions, sales and maybe even search results.



If you intend to manage your site or blog whether you have any niche, any web engine platform and have long-term orientation, not carelessly, switching to HTTPS is mandatory. Especially if you want to play SEO, if you still use the old protocol, change HTTP to HTTPS now.

Now SSL is getting HTTPS not an expensive price. Even with minimal service, HTTPS can be obtained for free. Most web hosting providers already provide SSL services for free or provide HTTPS certificates at a rather low cost. So you have no reason to delay because costs should not be a problem.
