Forced HTTPS Is Now On
-
So the big thing.... turning on HTTPS Forced has had a pretty big effect on traffic. A huge effect. Our request rate increased by 30x a few hours after we turned it on. Our search engine rankings must have shot way up.

@scottalanmiller I think the words you are looking for is: "You were right, Aaron"

@scottalanmiller Now get those images fixed! I am willing to help if you need it

Getting there. It's manual, just has to be done one by one. With the travel this week a lot has to wait. I leave tomorrow to head to Bucharest then to Istanbul then to NYC then to Utica. It's always very hectic.

@scottalanmiller How long are you in NYC for?

Only long enough to rent a car at JFK.

What's wrong with Toyota? I like my Prius!

Better than Kia, I suppose. Pretty much the worst cars to get saddled with when renting. Handle badly, drive poorly, not very comfortable. The Kia Picanto that I rented in Greece is the only car I've ever rented that was worse than the Toyotas that I'm often stuck with. Toyota is the Chevy of the third world.

I loved my Dart (though to be fair it is a cheap car and way to small for you guys) and I love my Chrysler 200s

We shot up as well in ranking because of this, Google's already made it pretty clear how they feel about SSL, yet even so 99% of the SEO rip off artists who still say stupid crap like "submit your site it search engines" don't seem to know about it. BTW anyone listening in who isn't hip to what I'm talking about, every single person selling you SEO is a scam artist, period. You can easily do it all yourself even if you don't have that much web knowledge.

@scottalanmiller HTTPS makes sites, faster, not slower.
What? How do you figure? It adds latency and increases bandwidth. How can it make it faster?
Absolutely, it is 100% technically impossible for HTTPS traffic to be faster than HTTP traffic. You are adding encryption on top of HTTP. Keyword there adding. This means more resources per packet. More resources per packet means slower, always.
-
I thought I heard that the Speedy protocol was faster with HTTPS than with HTTP, but maybe that was later disproved.
-
@Dashrender That's that I thought too.

SPDY is a Google owned trademark and the name that they gave their new protocol.
It is no longer a thing of its own as the SPDY protocol was the basis of HTTP/2.
My little knowledge of it at all is that it tracks header info and does not resend some it already knows about. Thus making this faster over the wire. This would have nothing to do with TLS.
-
HTTP/2 is definitely faster than HTTP/1.1. But that TLS speeds it up isn't something that I've heard and I'm unclear how it could work. That TLS performance impact is becoming nominal is one thing, but actually faster is hard to achieve.
