From http to https

[Kepass]

Hi Guys,

I have mixed http and https content on my ecommerce store.

My server people is telling me force all to https as it is better for ssl certificate.

All versions of the site are declared on search console. Can forcing https and not having more mixed content impact my site badly ?

Thanks.

Hi Frederic,

Certainly not and Google officially announced that switching your website over to HTTPS will give you a minor ranking boost. There are some other benefits including 1>More Security 2>Better referral data 3>SSL build trust and credibility.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

agreed. force https (via 301 redirects) and make sure all elements on your site are secured.

In addition to the benefits from a UX and SEO point of view already mentioned, you're also destroying your Google Analytics data. When users go from a HTTPS page to a HTTP on your site, the original attribution is lost and that HTTP page will show up as direct traffic. Measurement becomes a nightmare real quick when you have users going back and forth throughout their session on your site.
