Google has been working for some time to make the Internet safer by promoting HTTPS encryption on Web sites. Last year, Google marked HTTP websites with password fields or which collect credit card information as not secure. As of July 2018, the latest version of Google Chrome will mark all websites without an HTTPS connection as "not secure.
After last year's update, security has already been greatly increased:
- More than 68% of Chrome traffic on android and Windows is now secure.
- More than 78% of Chrome traffic on OS and Mac is now secured.
81 websites of the top 100 websites use HTTPS by default.
The update will make it immediately clear to users that a website is not secure, i.e., an HTTP site. So when your website is marked as insecure, people are less likely to leave data. Of course, this is not the intention of your website.
It has become a lot cheaper and easier these days to add HTTPS to your website.
Is your website not currently SSL certified and therefore not HTTPS?
