Redirect HTTP to HTTPS automatically
Once you install an SSL certificate on your website, you need to redirect your visitors to the secured (HTTPS) version of your site. Choose the hosting scenario for your website:
- Web Hosting (cPanel): Redirect my website to HTTPS using Web Hosting (cPanel)
- Plesk Hosting with a non-WordPress site: Redirect to HTTPS using web.config
- Plesk Hosting with a WordPress site: Redirect to HTTPS using the WordPress dashboard and web.config
If we don't have a guide for your server, check your server documentation to learn how to redirect your website traffic.
Note: These instructions don't apply to Managed WordPress accounts with an SSL certificate. The HTTPS redirect is automatically enabled after the SSL certificate install finishes on a Managed WordPress account.
