Full X-Cart Site in HTTPS Conversion Service

Don't have your customers in doubt about the security of your website!

Our HTTPS conversion service makes converting your site to full HTTPS an easy and seamless task - and you only have to do it once!

With Google now in full swing in their use of HTTPS as a ranking signal in search results, it is time to convert your X-Cart over to full HTTPS.

As at October 2018, nearly 80% of internet users use Chrome and with most people having their browser set to auto-update, you can rest assured that most people will be running on Chrome 68 in the near future if they aren't already. So if you have a website, this affects you.

And it's not just Google Chrome getting onboard with this change - all major web browsers including Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari are moving to a user interface that will warn users about insecure pages, so it is important to support HTTPS both for the security benefits and for the optimal user experience.

SO WHAT DOES “NOT SECURE” MEAN

The warning refers to the lack of security for the connection to that page. It’s alerting you that information sent and received with that page is unprotected and it could potentially be stolen, read, or modified by attackers, hackers, and entities with access to internet infrastructure, such as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and governments.

From a visitors perspective, it indicates to the user that the webpage/website is not providing a secure connection and that you should avoid conducting any sensitive transactions on these pages—such as logging in, providing personal information, or payment information.

Any website not in full HTTPS will be disadvantaged and when it comes to online sales, the knock-on affect could quite easily be loss of, or a downturn in sales, as customers doubt the security of your site. Do you want to risk your customers going elsewhere because the browser shows "not secure" up next to your website URL?

Our Just X-Cart Australia site changed over to HTTPS many years ago now, but I can still recall the issues in doing so. Changing to full HTTPS on your X-Cart can be a little tricky, so why not let us take the hassle out of this necessary changeover?

HOW DO I GET MY SITE IN FULL HTTPS?

Simply order our service online and we will make contact with you to obtain the necessary logins to complete the task. If you already have an SSL on your site, great! If you don't, if hosting with us, we can issue you a free cPanel one. If hosting elsewhere, simply contact your host to organise them put an SSL on your hosting account and then we can get the conversion service completed for you.
