So what is this HTTPS you have been looking at? The HTTPS name derives from the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol security. The original name of the protocol is http. The core character is \
However, if personal information (especially billing, bank or identification data) is provided, a potential attacker may intercept and immediately change its content, so this is not the best choice. This may in turn lead to hacker attempts or theft. In other words, it is absolutely not allowed to use HTTP on online business and secure e-commerce websites. Although personal data exchange such as credit card transactions requires HTTPS, with the increase of current hacking activities, Google’s demand for HTTPS everywhere is increasing. The reason why HTTPS has become more important now that you know what HTTP is, it is very important to understand why HTTP is important. To oversimplify: HTTPS helps secure web browsing activities. The
HTTP sites run without encryption and may be more vulnerable to attacks. The site attacked by hackers may install malware on the site, and the malware will also affect the browser, thus affecting readers. This situation is exacerbated by automatic hacking attempts around the world. HTTPS helps eliminate these attacks by converting all data transmissions into encrypted connections. Male HTTPS can create a more secure and secure web. But so far, there is still a long way to go, and there are still many things to be done to popularize HTTPS. In addition, it is important to remember that HTTPS is not the only factor to consider when creating a secure web site. Web administrators also need to implement many other steps to ensure blog security. The
HTTPS has many defects in the past. What makes HTTPS more important now? In the past, HTTPS has been fighting alone because the SSL Certificate (the actual web document responsible for generating the encryption mechanism) is not free. However, it must be issued by a specific certification body to be valid. Therefore, for people with limited budgets, the only other option is a \
This is a big drawback for bloggers and small businesses around the world. Larger companies have no problem with costs, but bloggers who have not yet generated a budget of sufficient revenue on the site have no extra time to pay for these certificates. Moreover, it is the sol of SSL, and there is no reliable alternative. Most importantly, if the site is loaded using HTTPS, the loading time of the site will be shortened. This is because the server needs to encrypt all the data before sending it. If you have the will and ability to undertake it from the beginning, then this is not an efficient process at all. The
SSL version 3 is no longer used. An insult to injury.
Although not strong enough to affect the ranking in some way, it implies what will happen in the future. The
As you can see, Google has made practical changes in 2015 and 2016, and now it will further expand its boundaries in 2017. In 2017, chrome will be warned. Now, with the widely adopted http\/2 protocol and the proliferation of millions of let’s encrypt users around the world, Google began to enter the next stage. We recently announced that we will start displaying exclamation points on all unencrypted websites starting with the recent update of Google Chrome. After that, it is planned to display a red warning on the HTTP website that sends sensitive user data (such as password, credit card information, etc.) from January 2017. There is no doubt that this will start to generate mistrust for all sites that do not switch. That move was bold. I’m sure. But I’m telling you where the web is going. As more and more sites turn to HTTPS and the global Internet usage increases, HTTPS will become the de facto standard in the next few years. New technologies that make HTTPS more attractive have finally emerged. Through faster web server, faster CPU, tlsv1.2 to achieve better protocol encryption mechanism, the recently launched http\/2 protocol and let’s encrypt, faster TTPS is adopted to provide free certificates for all who need them. In addition, Google will implement another push of HTTPS in future updates. But please don’t worry. As mentioned in the first article of this post, blogs and magazines need not feel the pressure of using HTTPS in a hurry. This may affect the ranking of search engines, so we should carefully consider the conversion from HTTP to http. However, for e-commerce and member based websites, you must enable and enable HTTPS on the login and checkout pages to ensure that 2017 users will not receive warnings. Have you given enough reasons to switch? The following article describes how to switch from WordPress to HTTPS using a plug-in, and how to add a certificate to a custom VPS using cPanel, Vesta, or nginx. Please continue to pay attention!
