This is amazing. I am going to send all my current and future clients to this resource. #movingtoHTTPS
@shashankkr9 Wouldn't most clients pay you to know/do these kind of things? There's a lot of technical detail on there that would overwhelm many people.
@joostschuur I understand it's really technical but it's a great starting point for anybody to estimate and allocate dev resources as a part of their project plan.
VERY good idea! I love it, but also hate the fact that all code is for Apache. Should also make a website on how to not use Apache 😀
@itsiliad you can switch the server type / hosting at the top of the page :)
@stilliard @itsiliad I noticed you used github as host. Github is like a safe heaven when it comes to hosting websites. Although getting https to work with it would make it safe for the visitors as well.
Very useful as an agency, can definitely provide this to clients for them to understand the transition to HTTPS better!
It doesnt explain how to move your "social proof" or likes etc from facebook twitter... I mean at our site http://open-classifieds.com/ we have 2.8K shares and in httpS://open-classifieds.com/ we got only 1 ... anyone can help? ;)
@deambulando I did look into this, there are some hacks talked about but in truth it's something you sacrifice as part of the migration. If you've setup your redirects properly the shares will still work, but the counter will reset.
@deambulando well your domain is still out there on those networks so that's not lost. Yes the count will reset but if the only place that count is shown is on the share buttons you could consider hiding the count until it's regained some ground. AddThis have an article on this though I personally wouldn't recommend their hacky fix: https://www.addthis.com/blog/201...
Https is the most important factor of SEO and every page should now consider https as an important factor
