Https Migration - Managing The Traffic
Friday, October 3, 2014
Edit
Your weblog depends upon traffic for its success - as well as similar to custom domain migration, volition endure a menses of lower search related traffic, piece beingness upgraded to HTTPS.
Larger blogs larn improve search reputation, all other details beingness equal. While your weblog is beingness reindexed, after yous enable "HTTPS Redirect", yous volition convey a weblog alongside ii unlike base of operations URLs - as well as both URLs volition reference ii smaller blogs, as well as convey lower search reputation.
All posts inward your weblog volition non hold out reindexed nether an HTTPS URL, immediately. Some posts volition rest indexed nether the HTTP URL, equally others are re indexed nether the HTTPS URL, i past times one. While beingness reindexed, your weblog volition expect similar ii smaller blogs - as well as both URLs volition endure from lowered search reputation.
During the migration from HTTP to HTTPS, your weblog volition endure from lowered search reputation.
It's painful - but yous convey to motion forward.
Since every weblog as well as website must hold out upgraded to HTTPS, the lower search reputation - as well as temporary traffic loss - can't hold out avoided.
That considered, mayhap owners of novel custom domains should hold back until after a formal three to five twenty-four hours "Transition Period" has elapsed, earlier moving frontwards - to foreclose a resurgence of "Another weblog ..." database corruption, that can't hold out easily corrected.
Mature domains, however, in all probability ask to motion forward.
Ever since HTTPS was released for Blogger - good earlier Blogger released HTTPS for custom domains, inward early on 2018 - I was informed, inward diverse forum discussions, that people could non read my linked posts, because their networks did non permit access. Now, I know why that was happening.
Your readers may convey observed a similar problem, alongside your blog. Some may convey emailed you, others only establish other blogs to read.
Migration to an HTTPS URL volition resemble migration to a custom domain URL.
As your weblog is beingness reindexed using an HTTPS URL, it volition convey ii base of operations URLs - "http", as well as "https". Both URLs volition reference smaller blogs - as well as both smaller blogs volition convey lower search reputation. Lower search reputation volition slow the reindexing process.
Until the reindexing is complete, both smaller blogs volition convey less reader activity, lower search reputation, as well as less search related traffic - as well as this volition atomic number 82 to silent lower search reputation, less traffic, as well as less reader activity. Lather, rinse, repeat.
To migrate your weblog from HTTP to HTTPS, yous convey to endure a menses of traffic loss. It's painful - but since the upgrade is inevitable, the traffic loss can't hold out avoided. Like migration to a custom domain URL, yous tin ship away minimise the traffic loss, alongside proper planning.
We'll role this weblog equally a illustration study, as well as examine the traffic loss during migration. We'll showtime alongside the weblog having "HTTPS Availability" enabled, as well as "HTTPS Redirect" disabled, equally a baseline.
Until belatedly September, this weblog was indexed equally "http://blogging.nitecruzr.net".
"HTTPS Availability" was enabled, as well as "HTTP Redirect" was disabled. All "HTTP" references redirected to "https://satriyoblog.blogspot.com//search?q=">redirect to the abode page - this may deport on both re indexing, as well as reader access.
http://blogging.nitecruzr.net
Redirect Check view.
Home page view.
https://satriyoblog.blogspot.com/

With the URLs identified, let's scout the indexing process.
To monitor the re indexing, we'll role daily Search Console "Overview" reports for "http://blogging.nitecruzr.net" as well as "https://satriyoblog.blogspot.com/".
Please - continue this inward perspective, as well as think that all pages won't hold out indexed, at whatever time.

OK, if you're reading this, yous in all probability run into it using HTTPS. Now, we'll run into how good the reindexing goes.
On the dashboard Settings - Basic page, I selected "Yes" for "HTTPS Redirect". "HTTPS Availability" was already enabled, a few months ago.
That's it! I moved this weblog forward!
We are at nowadays Google approved!
The seal of disapproval - what I used to see. This is a scolding, past times Chrome.
This is a similar scolding, past times Firefox.
The seal of blessing - what I at nowadays see.
So, hither nosotros go!

I waited many months, after HTTPS for custom domains was released, to upgrade - as well as got diverse snarky questions why I was "Not Secure". And fifty-fifty now, in that place are silent diverse non Google accessories as well as services, that have non yet been upgraded - as well as to a greater extent than or less that volition never hold out upgraded. And Page / Post / Template Editor will annoy you, either way.
Either way, it's a determination that yous convey to make, for each weblog that yous publish. Right now, I am cautiously optimistic near this blog. But, there's skilful news, as well as bad news.
The entire Internet must hold out upgraded, to brand us all safer.
Looking at the concluding weeks reindexing, I am non seeing skilful progress. It's pretty obvious that I ask to issue to a greater extent than content, to encourage search engine activity. The skilful news, I think, is that every weblog as well as website must become through this experience.
The spider web must hold out upgraded to HTTPS access - because what is coming adjacent volition hold out forced HTTPS, aka HSTS ("HTTPS Strict Transport Security").
Right now, my weblog is losing reputation - as well as other websites, non going through this re indexing, are gaining reputation. When the Internet moves to HSTS, though, the websites that convey non upgraded volition become through the same hurting equally I am at nowadays experiencing. And to a greater extent than or less volition only become offline.
So, it's hurting now, or hurting later.
The procedure of re indexing a #Blogger weblog nether an "HTTPS" base of operations URL volition atomic number 82 to temporary lower search reputation, as well as less search related traffic. Since HTTPS reindexing must happen, the traffic loss can't hold out avoided.
After the weblog is completely reindexed, search reputation - as well as traffic - volition return.

We encourage yous to adopt HTTPS inward club to protect your users' connections to your website, regardless of the content on the site."Move soon, or endure the consequences".

- The to a greater extent than oft that yous publish, during the migration, the to a greater extent than you'll compensate for the drib inward reader traffic. More to read yields to a greater extent than search engine activity, as well as to a greater extent than readers.
- As the weblog is reindexed nether the novel URL, reputation for the HTTPS base of operations URL volition alternative up.
- When the weblog is completely reindexed nether the novel URL, the HTTPS base of operations URL volition recover the previous search rep, as well as traffic, of the HTTP base of operations URL.
- Use ii Search Console properties to monitor the reindexing procedure - i belongings for the blog, using "HTTP", as well as a minute using "HTTPS". Check indexing reports for both properties, regularly.
