WHY AND HOW YOU SHOULD USE HTTPS

So my first question will be “why would I want to redirect my sites traffic to https from http?”

Short answer: This is for a very simple reason– security.

Other reasons include improved user experience and SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which basically ensure your site ranks high on search engines, ie does your site show up as one of the first sites on Google?

Focussing on security, we know the web is full of dangers. A redirect  (more specifically, an http redirect) ensures your visitors can always access your site more safely.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) refers to the rules that guide the movement of files across the web. These files usually are images, video, text, and so on.

There are various ways to perform these redirects. Your choice would depend on what CMS (content management system) your site is based on. In English, this means what tool you used in creating and managing the content on you your website.  In effect, redirecting from a WordPress site would be different from a Joomla site.
