Secure protocol
by JDHURF » Sun Jan 07, 2018 1:12 am
I've noticed that this site relies upon a protocol that is not secure. Every browser warns about visiting this site. Perhaps implementing HTTPS would be useful. I know that I'm no enthusiast of insecure sites.

Perhaps it's partly responsible for so few remaining users and no new ones. I doubt a new visitor is likely to look around much if their browser immediately warns them that this site is not secure.

I use HTTPS extension/plugin by default so hadn't really paid any attention. Galt or I can look into this, but it may be a couple weeks before I have much free time. I don't think the process is terribly complicated on the host site at least.

No super duper top secret stuff on here. What would be hacked that is worthy? Well, excluding some of my comments maybe, lol.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

SSL should be installed soon. Waiting on certification validation. I'll go ahead and force HTTPS via htaccess file as well once it is confirmed working.

HTTPS is now being forced via .htaccess. simply putting in "political-crossfire.com" should now automatically redirect to secure instead
