Hi there,

Looking to move to https and have a couple of questions related to this plugin:

1. Is it correctly understood that this plugin will take ALL http requests and make a 301 redirect to https?
2. Does this also cover images, etc.?
3. Would I need to change the server address in WordPress to https before or after activating it?
4. Would it still be a good idea to find as many of the http references that are on my site and convert them by hand to https, to minimize the need for the plugin?
5. Right now my site answers to both http and https, so this would basically just 301 redirect everything to https?
6. Will this change anything on database level or will it just redirect?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

1) the plugin will redirect all https:// requests to your website to https://.
2) Images hosted on your own domain will be loaded over https:// as well. To force direct requests to these images over https:// too you can activate HSTS, see https://really-simple-ssl.com/hsts-http-strict-transport-security-good/
3) Really Simple SSL will change the site and home-url in WordPress to https://, you don’t have to do this yourself.
4) You can always update the links manually. However, Really Simple SSL is very lightweight and replaces links dynamically very fast so it doesn’t impact the site loading speed by much. See https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/really-simple-ssl-make-site-slower/.
5) Yes, all requests to your website will be redirected to https://.
6) The plugin doesn’t make any changes to the database.

Perfect, thanks so much for your help.
Will ned posts, images, etc. automatically be created with https as the source URL or will it still be http (where your plugin then catches it)?

Thanks,
Thomas

Yes, new posts etc will be created according to the site address in the WordPress general settings. Since the plugin will update the site address to https://, https:// will be used for new post/pages etc.
