Popular search engines like Google prioritize sites served over HTTPS.  Google has announced a deadline of July 2018 as the date for when Chrome will begin explicitly warning users if a site is insecure. [[Link](https://security.googleblog.com/2018/02/a-secure-web-is-here-to-stay.html)]

Most web hosting providers already provide free HTTPS certificates as well as low cost certificates. Netlify provides this functionality for free, even for custom domains, with their 1-Click SSL through Let’s Encrypt. **It time to upgrade your website to HTTPS**
