Not sure if your site has HTTPS?

HTTPS FAQ:

• What is HTTPS?

  HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. It is essentially the secure version of HTTP. With HTTPS, the communication between your browser (for example, Chrome) and the website are encrypted by using a secured socket layer (SSL). This can prevent eavesdropping by hackers, and helps to keep any data collected from your site visitors safe.

• How will my site be affected by Google's policies on HTTPS?

  If your non-HTTPS site allows any text input from visitors (e.g. search box, contact forms, login panels, etc.), or if you have a non-HTTPS site that transmits credit cards, Google Chrome will show a "Not Secure" warning in the address bar of your site. This may cause potential visitors to lose trust in your website, leading to a decrease in traffic, higher bounce rate, or decrease of sales. Google also uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Without HTTPS, your search ranking can be negatively impacted. This can deter visitors from finding or trusting your website.

  Note that Chrome has proposed to mark ALL non-HTTPS pages as "Not secure" in the near future, and as HTTPS becomes more of the norm, they plan to make the warnings even more prominent.
