It’s 2020 and we are still finding a number of sites using http not HTTPS !

What is the difference https – means “secure”, the site is running on a SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate. Which means communication between the web browser used to view and the server hosting the site is encrypted making the data transfer between the two parties secure. Most payment gateways require encrypted communications. Also Google “prefers” secure sites and a number of browsers indicate automatically to site visitors if the site is using secure https: – closed padlock icon in front of site URL.

At NZWordPress we offer a range of SSL certificates – including the free Let’s encrypt certificate for our hosted sites.
