Securing your Web Site with HTTPS to build trust with your audience.

Securing your Web Site with HTTPS to build trust with your audience.

Chrome web browser is now marking all HTTP sites as “not secure”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chrome used to display a neutral information icon, but starting with version 68, the browser will warn users with an extra notification in the address bar. Chrome currently marks HTTPS-encrypted sites with a green lock icon and “Secure” sign.

Google has been nudging users away from unencrypted sites for years, but this is the most forceful nudge yet. Google search began down-ranking unencrypted sites in 2015, and the following year, the Chrome team instituted a similar warning for unencrypted password fields.

The Chrome team said the change was mostly brought on by increased HTTPS adoption. Eighty-one of the top 100 sites on the web default to HTTPS, and a strong majority of Chrome traffic is already encrypted.

If your website is not currently defaulting to “https://” or cannot be viewed via “https://”,
then we can help.
