How Do I Enable HTTPS on Weebly?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 5:23 pm

The internet has come a long way in recent years, and one of the most important aspects of keeping your website secure is by using HTTPS. In this article, we’ll show you how to enable HTTPS on Weebly.

HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a protocol used to send and receive data over the internet. It’s the successor to HTTP, and it’s more secure because it uses SSL/TLS encryption.

Weebly is a popular website builder that makes it easy to create and publish websites. It offers a free plan as well as paid plans with more features. One of the main advantages of using Weebly is that it’s easy to use and doesn’t require any coding knowledge.

HTTPS is important for two main reasons: security and SEO. When you enable HTTPS on your website, you’re telling Google that your site is safe and secure.

PRO TIP: Weebly does not currently support HTTPS for custom domains. This means that any data transmitted between your site and its visitors is not encrypted and could be intercepted by a third party. We recommend that you do not collect or transmit any sensitive information (e.g. passwords, credit card numbers, etc.) on your Weebly site.

This can help your site rank higher in search results. And, most importantly, HTTPS helps protect your visitors’ data from being intercepted by malicious actors.

To enable HTTPS on Weebly, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Weebly account and go to the Site Manager. 2. Click on the Security tab and then toggle the switch next to “Enable SSL/TLS Encryption.”

3. Weebly will automatically generate an SSL certificate for your site. Once the certificate is generated, your site will be accessible over HTTPS.

That’s all there is to it! By enabling HTTPS on Weebly, you’re taking an important step towards keeping your website safe and secure.
