Learn How to Get a Secure Lock Icon for Your Site
Because Nowadays Hosting an Insecure Site Isn’t Good Enough
Search engines (especially Google) and major browser vendors are really cracking down on insecure sites.
Google ranks insecure pages (HTTP) worse than secure pages (HTTPS).
As of mid–2014 Google has openly stated that HTTPS is now part of their page rank algorithm. Simply put, insecure sites being served over HTTP will rank worse than secure sites being served over HTTPS.
Chrome, FireFox and other browser vendors are adding more and more visual cues that make even non–technical folks aware that your site is dangerous to view.
It won’t take long until all insecure sites are seen as being malicious and untrustworthy, even if you’re technically not doing anything wrong. Although honestly, I would classify not securing your site as doing your visitors a disservice.
Insecure sites allow anyone to intercept and read the traffic between your visitors and your site.
That’s because insecure sites transmit all data over plain text. This makes your visitor’s data sensitive to man in the middle attacks, which in turn could be a disaster for both your audience and yourself.
Remember, most people using your site aren’t tech savvy, and don’t understand that by logging into an insecure site they are leaking sensitive data. If their account gets compromised, guess who they’re gong to blame? Yep, your site.

Have watch and followed along, now need to see if I can set it up for my scenario. Which is svr1 as nginx reverse proxy, svr2 nginx hosting subdomain1 (nextcloud) and subdomain2 (wordpress), (etc subdomains …) (would be nice if had bonus lessons showing certbot scenrio and also https connections from reverse proxy to web app servers).

Nick’s experience and mad presentation skills make all his courses must haves. There’s a very fine line that has to be drawn when you decide just how much information is just right for a presentation, and Nick hits that mark every time. He makes the courses engaging, practical, and isn’t afraid to put in a little humor as well. It makes for a very, very good course … highly recommend.
