Google https countdown to October 2017

Is your website secure with https?

If your website is secure with ‘https://‘, then well done on having your site secure, and there is no need for you to read any further.

Does your website say ‘https://’ at the beginning of your domain?

If your website still says ‘https://‘ at the beginning of your domain, then you have until October 2017 to make the necessary updates to your website. Otherwise, in the Chrome browser, your website will be clearly marked as ‘NOT SECURE’. This is going to drive your web ranking down, and deter your users from using your website. You will then be requiring a lot of SEO services to get your site improved.
