That is one smart move you will really be grateful to yourself for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know why? Embedding WordPress SSL (HTTPS) will go a long way to give your website some trustworthiness. More details on that shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what exactly are HTTPS and SSL all about, you may be wondering? Not to worry, we will get to that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever I encounter loading issues, my first thought is always &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/pulsetic.com\/is-website-down\/\">is website down<\/a>&#8216; or is it just an issue on my end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we will be showing you the steps to setup SSL to WordPress. Even if it is you are just a newbie to WordPress, following this guide won\u2019t be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.figma.com\/community\/plugin\/1014191120140241695\/export-figma-to-websites-and-html-by-siter-io\">export HTML from Figma<\/a> using a complimentary plugin available in the Figma community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, here are the points we will be covering in this guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is HTTPS and SSL all about?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benefits of moving your website from HTTP to HTTPS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to set up WordPress SSL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is HTTPS and SSL All About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, HTTPS and SSL are the acronyms for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure and Secured Sockets Layer, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what do they even mean, and why should you care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with HTTP first. As the name suggests, this is a technology &#8211; or protocol, in this context &#8211; that makes it possible for data to be transferred on the world wide web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when you fill an opt-in form by providing your contact information, that data will need to be transferred from your browser to the relevant web server. This is where HTTP comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with this arrangement is that the data you send over the internet can be breached. A hacker can gain access to your network and steal this data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, imagine if the stolen data was your credit card details and not your contact information. That could have disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the web safer and guard against data breaches, HTTPS had to be invented and is now used in place of HTTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, basically, HTTPS is the secured form of HTTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HTTPS works by using encryption technologies like SSL, or TLS (Transport Layer Security). Thus, by implementing WordPress SSL (HTTPS) to your website, your users\u2019 information becomes more secured and less likely to be breached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you know if a website runs on HTTPS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple. Just look it up in the address bar of your browser. If it does, you will see two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HTTPS prefix text in the URL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A padlock icon as well<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1345\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8.png\" alt=\"Notion HTTPS\" class=\"wp-image-3526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8.png 1345w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-1024x531.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-768x399.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1345px) 100vw, 1345px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Moving Your Website From HTTP to HTTPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But why take the stress of moving your website from HTTP to HTTPS? Yes, it makes your users\u2019 data more secure, but is that enough reason to warrant the migration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer that questions, here are reasons why you will want to make the move:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improved Conversion: <\/strong>Web users tend to trust HTTPS websites more than their HTTP counterparts. And you know, the more users trust your website, the more they will want to give you their business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Higher Search Ranking<\/strong>: Before 2018, migrating to HTTPS was solely a matter of convenience. But not anymore. Google has now come down hard on non-complying websites by pushing them down search result pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, if you don&#8217;t want your website to come under Google\u2019s hammer, securing your website key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More Traffic:<\/strong> This is a no-brainer: higher search ranking means more traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that out of the way, let\u2019s now show you steps to migrate your website from HTTP to HTTPS by setting up WordPress SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Set Up WordPress SSL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your hosting provider, you might never really have to worry about manually installing an SSL certificate to your WordPress website. This is handled out of the box for you. And for free, in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, you might not be so lucky. Maybe your hosting provider isn\u2019t one of those that offer automatic SSL installation. Perhaps they do, but you simply can\u2019t afford it. Or, your website is already on HTTP, and you want to move it to HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever be the case, here are the steps to migrating a website from HTTP to HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Get an SSL Certificate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The very first thing you will want to do is to get an SSL certificate. Now, there are a couple of ways to go about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is to purchase it from third-party vendors like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digicert.com\/\">Digicert<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/certs.securetrust.com\/\">SecureTrust<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidssl.com\/\">RapidSSL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those vendors sell premium certificates which you might not be able to afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, your next best option is to get it for free from places like <a href=\"https:\/\/letsencrypt.org\/\">Let\u2019s Encrypt<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sslforfree.com\/\">SSL for Free<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help getting a free SSL? We figured out that you would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s now show you how to get one from SSL for free. So, head over to their website by following the link above. Once there, click the green button like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1306\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image6.png\" alt=\"How to Move WordPress From HTTP to HTTPS\" class=\"wp-image-3527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image6.png 1306w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image6-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image6-1024x419.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image6-768x315.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1306px) 100vw, 1306px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon click, you will be redirected to a signup page.
