Configure a permanent server/platform redirect after confirming HTTPS works correctly.
Step by Step
- Confirm the site loads correctly over HTTPS first.
- Use the web server, hosting panel, CDN, or application platform's supported redirect setting.
- Redirect HTTP requests to the matching HTTPS hostname/path.
- Use a permanent redirect when the migration is intended to be permanent.
- Test several URLs, not just the homepage.
If That Doesn't Work
- Do not force HTTPS before a valid certificate is working.
- Avoid redirect loops between the application, proxy, CDN, and web server.
