HTTP and HTTPS: What are they?
Before showing you how to secure your website, let me explain these two acronyms. Well-known to many, HTTP, or "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol," is simply a protocol used by all websites for sending and receiving information.
HTTPS, or "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure," is simply the secure version of HTTP. This protocol benefits from an added layer of security, as indicated by the "S" at the end, which stands for "secure."
Note that this addition is achieved through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate in order to:
Encrypt the data or information exchanged between users and your website. In other words, malicious individuals or software will not be able to intercept or steal emails, passwords, and other potentially sensitive data belonging to your users.
Verify the validity of each website.
