Introduction
If a customer visits your website and sees “Not Secure” in their browser, trust drops instantly. Most people won’t read further or try to understand why. They just leave.
That warning usually comes down to one thing: HTTP vs HTTPS.
What is HTTP?
HTTP sends information without protection.
Data like contact forms or login details can be seen by others.
Browsers now clearly warn users when a site uses HTTP.
What is HTTPS?
HTTPS protects data by encrypting it.
It keeps customer information private and secure.
Modern browsers trust HTTPS by default.
Why This Matters for Small Businesses
- Visitors trust secure websites more
- Payments and forms are safer
- Search engines prefer HTTPS sites
This isn’t a technical upgrade. It’s basic business credibility.
Final Thought
If your website still uses HTTP, it may be costing you customers without you realizing it.
HTTPS is the minimum standard today.
