Xiaoz Blog Enables HTTPS Support, Testing Welcome

HTTPS is an HTTP channel designed for security, essentially a secure version of HTTP. As the internet continues to develop, enabling HTTPS is becoming increasingly important. Domestic giants like Baidu and Taobao have already adopted the HTTPS protocol, and it is expected to become even more popular in the future.

Using the HTTPS protocol requires SSL certificate support. In the early days, GitHub's student package promotion offered a free one-year SSL service. However, due to a lack of understanding at the time, errors occurred during certificate generation. Fortunately, many institutions now offer free SSL certificates, such as StartSSL and WoTrus. Xiaoz Blog is currently using a free WoTrus certificate.

Google now fully supports HTTPS and prioritizes its indexing. Among domestic search engines, there is still room for improvement. While Baidu claims to support HTTPS indexing and prioritization, this remains to be observed. Search engines like 360 and Sogou appear to not yet support it. Without taking technical measures, implementing HTTPS site-wide will inevitably affect SEO. Therefore, Xiaoz Blog has not yet enabled full-site HTTPS support.

Compared to traditional HTTP protocols, HTTPS offers numerous advantages and is significantly more secure. Consequently, the Xiaoz Blog author recommends visitors use HTTPS for access. As the internet evolves, full-site HTTPS support may be considered in the future. If you encounter any issues during access, please feel free to provide feedback. Thank you.
