Turning On Your Blogger blogs Security : SSL

Hey there's!Today I'm going to show you how to turn on your blogs security,that means,turning your blog's address from HTTP://yourblog.blogspot.com to HTTPS://yourblog.blogspot.com.




HTTPS is a fundamental to internet security,enabling visitors to establish trust on security on your blog.It protects the integrity and confidentiality of exchange of the data between servers and client.The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data.Google came rolling out since September 2015 about lunching HTTPS support for blog-spot and finally that is came on May 2016.

WHAT DOES HTTPS DOES?
As said that HTTPS is a fundamental security above , it is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used over internet.It makes secure connection between website and visitor's browser using encryption. HTTPS stands for Hyper text transfer protocol secure.

WHY YOUR BLOG NEEDS IT?
Before going to how to turn on your blogs security, first we see the advantages of setting up SSL certificate to your blog.Firstly it makes a secure connection.So your blog can be used for payment methods or for doing payment or login online securely.It enables trust and security on your blog for your visitors.Browser shows green lock icon at the side of URL box of the browser at a proper HTTPS severed over content.That means if your blog loads mixed content that is served over HTTP and HTTPS. For example,If you entered a image URL which is of a site which is served over HTTP ,Than that become mixed content, indicating that your site is not fully secure.And also, HTTPS is now considered as a ranking signal by google.

As usual,if you don't know about HTTPS or You didn't turn in on then your site is running on both HTTP and HTTPS. if you go to http://yourblog.blogspot.com , then you will not be seen green secure lock in the URL box f the browser.And if you go through https://yourblog.blogspot.com ,then you will be seen green colour lock in the URL box of the browser.

TURNING ON THE HTTPS REDIRECT OPTION
As you can see , this site is served over HTTPS. As if anyone goes to your blog by entering URL ,it will go in the normal page served over HTTP(if user don't mention https:// in URL bar).So if we turn on the HTTPS redirect option , your URL will auto redirect to HTTPS one and that means the secure one.

Now we see how to turn on this option.

1.Go to blogger.com and sign in to your account.
2.At right , in the options , click on settings.
3.Under basic section , you will get option of HTTPS redirect.
4.If it is turned 'NO' , then change it to 'YES'
