    hey there,

    the main url in my general settings is a http. but my site is running on https.
    I guess it gets redirected everytime to https. and i guess its not so good regarding seo + speed.

    can somebody provide me a step by step guide how to change url settings from http to https without risking a drama/crash of the site.

    (I guess just changing it would create a lot of errors i cant overview).

    Best regards and thank you.

    Hello,

    To be sure that your customers are going to connect with your store via a secure connection, you need to force your server to make a redirection. To do so you need to add to the .htaccess file the following lines:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.org/$1 [R,L]

    If you prefer not to edit the files directly, you can use a plugin. It will set such a redirection for you. You can use, for example: Remove HTTP.
