HTTP vs HTTPS: Why Websites Need HTTPS in 2025

 

Introduction

You may have noticed that modern websites start with https:// instead of http://.
But what is the difference, and why does Google prefer HTTPS?


What Is HTTP?

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.
It transfers data between your browser and a website.

Problem:
HTTP is not secure — data can be intercepted.


What Is HTTPS?

HTTPS = HTTP + SSL encryption
It protects data exchanged between browser and server.

Benefits:

  • Prevents hacking

  • Protects login details

  • Builds trust with visitors


Why Google Prefers HTTPS

  • Better ranking in Google search

  • Shows a “padlock” icon in browser

  • Required for most modern APIs & payment gateways


How to Enable HTTPS on Blogger

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Find HTTPS

  3. Turn ON:

    • HTTPS availability

    • HTTPS redirect

Blogger automatically generates an SSL certificate.


Conclusion

HTTPS is no longer optional.
It improves security, ranking, and user trust — making it essential for every website in 2025.
