Plugin Description

If your site has an SSL certificate you might find that you can access the site via both SSL (https) and non-SSL (http) URLs. This is a bad idea for security, and for SEO, as it can look like duplicate content on different URLs.

The answer to this is to redirect requests to non-SSL (http) URLs over to their SSL (https) equivalents using something called a 301 redirect. This tells the client (and search engines) that the resource they are looking for should always be accessed over SSL. This plugin offers two methods to achieve this:

  • By intercepting WordPress pages at header time, and if they are not already being requested over HTTPS sending a 301 redirect header, or
  • By adding mod_rewrite rules in the .htaccess file to redirect all requests to their HTTPS equivalents using 301 redirects.
