This article contains a short checklist of the most important items to take into account before and after migrating your site to SSL.
Before migrating
- Check your SSL certificate with SSL labs: http://ssllabs.com/ssltest/ If you don’t get an A, contact your hosting provider.
- Check your site for mixed content by running the scan with Really Simple SSL pro. Really Simple SSL fixes all http references in your site, but can not automatically fix:
- http:// links in .js or css files
- external .js, .css or images on domains without SSL certificate (they cannot load over ssl)
- external .js or .css files with http links
At this point, you can move your site to HTTPS.
After migrating
- Change your primary url in Google Analytics to https, otherwise you might see a decrease in data as a result of migrating to SSL
