It remains essential to ask three questions: what exactly is HTTPS? Should you adopt it to strengthen the effects of your natural referencing? And how to organize this migration to HTTPS? What is HTTPS? The HTTP protocol To fully understand what HTTPS is, we must go back to HTTP, of which it is a continuation. HTTP short for HyperText Transfer Protocol is a communications protocol specially designed for the web. It makes data exchanges possible between a server and a client, for example between a website and a browser. protocol-https The problem BTB Directory with HTTP is that these exchanges are open to everyone, that is to say they are not encrypted. And therefore not confidential for a penny. Anyone, technically, can intervene in the communication and recover the information that is circulating, like someone listening to a conversation on the telephone. In most cases, this isn't such a big deal: if you read an article on a newspaper's website, you're not exchanging personal data that could be misused. But things become more complicated when you connect to your bank's website: if someone gets their hands on your information for example: your account number or your access, the consequences can be serious. The main flaw of the HTTP protocol is therefore its lack of security.
