How after activating HTTPS, leave available robots and sitemap with HTTP urls?

  • Hello!

    I am planning to connect SSL for the site. With the Really Simple SSL plugin.

    From the reviews of webmasters on the Internet, I learned that for correct and fast reindexing, it is better that the robots.txt of the site and the sitemap with HTTP urls remain available until the complete reindexing. In this case, it will be easier for Google to fix 301 redirects from http urls to similar ones only with https

    So that two robots are available on one site on two URLs – https and http?

    How to implement this with a site on wordpress?

    Where are you getting that info?

    Usually, Google will recrawl the HTTP URLs and will get the 301 status code, then google will begin crawling the HTTPS URLs and replacing the HTTP URLs.
