Http and https versions of website

What is the best way to deal with having a http and https version of a website? It's not good for SEO as search engines treat them as two separate websites so I would ideally like to keep the https version (unless this means slowing the website down).

Thanks

  • Why would have both versions? Either you have https or not!!

    • Hi, we migrated to a new website and it seems both http and https versions were created in the process.

    • Hi, ok thanks. Is it possible to do a redirect of the whole website from http to https or does it take a page by page manual redirect?

  • just implement 301 redirection to https version in htaccess file and you are done.

    let me know if you need anything else.

    just place below code in the .htaccess file

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

  • This days https is more powerful, search engine giving more response to https website. You can apply 301 redirection.

  • https is the more secure than http, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are linked to. In HTTPS 'S' stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser and the website are secure. So you should go with https version.

  • Yes, you can go https version and you must be implement on 301 redirection.
