SEO for Secure Websites
Security and SEO reinforce each other when configured correctly.
HTTPS everywhere
- Canonical URLs must be HTTPS; redirect HTTP→HTTPS; preload HSTS if stable.
- Single redirect hop; consistent hostnames and trailing slash policy.
Technical hygiene
- Correct canonical/meta robots; XML sitemaps; robots.txt not blocking CSS/JS.
- Fast LCP/INP/CLS; HTTP caching; image optimization.
- Structured data where relevant (Organization, Breadcrumb, Article).
