Then we'll also learn how to set up HTTPS badge on your WP website properly in 5 minutes. This 5 minutes time, is worth your investment. This is also apart of this WordPress Website 2019 course.
Why? Because we will set up HTTPS without using a plugin. A plugin in WordPress is a 3rd party tool in your website's structure. In your WordPress website's journey, it is most likely that you'll eventually install many useful and cool plugins. However, having many different plugins can cause incompatibilities between these plugins. So to troubleshoot your website, you'll eventually need to disable one, many or even all of your plugins. And your WordPress website's address or URL is the very crucial part of your website. If you disable the plugin to setup your site's HTTPS badge, then your site HTTPS version will not be available, this can cause appearance errors due to the theme files, or even some URL errors that will cause you a headache.
So set up HTTPS properly from the beginning without a plugin, and this 5-minutes investment will save your website from unnecessary problems in the future.
Furthermore, HTTPS plugins will do more redirections and this can slow down your website. It does not make sense to have beautiful websites, yet slow loading speed, so that your visitors will just go away without even bothering to wait for your site to load. So let's setup HTTPS properly from the beginning when it is only 5 minutes to do it. Let's get started with this WordPress Website 2019 course!
