Technical SEO

HTTPS

Also known as: TLS · secure connection

HTTP communication protected with transport encryption and server authentication.

A practical example

A browser uses the store's encrypted URL.

What should I know?

HTTPS does not prove the seller is honest or the content is accurate.

Technical SEO in practice

Check crawler access, server responses, and content processing separately. Then assess indexing and search appearance. These stages are connected but distinct and need different diagnostic methods.
