So why are HTTPS websites important?<\/h1>\n

A recent study<\/a> by Moz revealed that almost 50% of the web pages occupying the first page of Google are HTTPS site pages that have an SSL site certificate. It\u2019s a long jump since just 9 months ago, the percentage of HTTPS site that occupied the first page was just 30%. Experts are predicting that it may increase up to 70% just by the end of the year 2017.<\/p>\n

\nThe rapid growth comes as a no surprise since HTTPS not only encrypts the data between the
\nsite and the users but also provides many other advantages that come handy in the longer
\nterm. Google is not so open about the advantage that they are giving to the HTTPS websites
\n(as always) and they are just stating that the secure sites are getting a \u201cslight advantage\u201d over
\nthe sites that aren\u2019t SSL certified.
\nHowever, it\u2019s obvious that they are pushing the HTTPS and the new Chrome update is a clear
\nexample. The new Chrome now comes with an inbuilt warning that users see when they enter
\nany site that is not SSL certified. It sends a bad message to the users when they see the
\n\u201cWARNING\u201d sign just before entering your website.
\nAs a business owner, you now know why HTTPS websites are important. Don’t give your clients a bad impression, so make sure that your site is SSL certified.<\/p>\n
