Google chrome which is one of the most used browsers in the world is about to start labeling all webpages using HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) without SSL certificate (HTTPS) as
“Not secure ” and this action is gonna be starting in July, 2018.This time last year, Google chrome browser started
labeling HTTP pages with text fields as “Not secure” . And today, Google has announced another step in its strategy to get website owners switch to HTTPs encryption.
HTTPs are now offered for free on Blogger platform and on Cloudfare. It’s very important for a website owner to have it installed on their website for a good ranking factor and to protect their users from insecure payments and frauds, especially those using e-commerce websites.Starting from July this year (2018), the “Not secure ” error warning on the browser will become stable, and to remind you, hope you all know that this secure and not secure is already showing or Destop version of the chrome, as you can see below;
In Chrome 68, the omnibox will display “Not secure” for all HTTP pages
If you haven’t transitioned to HTTPs, google has already offerred
setup guides to help you get started and explained why HTTPs is so important.
And right now, i think it’s high time all website owners started using HTTPs or might later in the future, start sending off your users due to frequent security warnings about your site been a HTTp website or blog.
