HTTPS CONNECTION

All our Realty2Go websites are including for free an SSL Certificate (secure website), installed on our servers and available when hosting your website with us. SSL Certificates provide secure, encrypted communications between the website and the internet browser.

Websites with https (SSL certificate) will show a green padlock icon. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, the protocol that provides the encryption. Apart from building trust and security into your website, SSL certificates also help with SEO, now that Google is providing a rankings boost for pages that are served over https. How to know if a website is secure? Look at the URL of the website. If it begins with ‘https’ instead of ‘http’ and shows a padlock followed by ‘Secure’ it means the site is secured, using an SSL Certificate. An https site will act as a new website and therefore needs to be remapped accurately, updating the robot.txt file and for SEO, the search engine console and sitemaps integration should be executed.
