DIY HTTPS and Basic Security Checklist

Confirming your site is fully and correctly secured is a quick technical check that protects both trust and search visibility.

Confirm Every Page Loads Securely

Check that your entire site, not just the homepage, consistently loads under a secure connection without warnings.

Watch for Mixed Content Issues

Images or scripts still loading over an insecure connection on an otherwise secure page can trigger browser warnings.

Set a Reminder for Certificate Renewal

An expired security certificate can take your site offline unexpectedly, so track renewal dates rather than assuming it's handled automatically.

Next step: Use the SEO Audit to check for security and technical issues alongside the rest of your site's health.
