 * Dear SEO Framework Support Team,
 * I am currently setting up my website and exploring different SEO plugins. I have
   come across the SEO Framework plugin and am considering using it for my website.
   However, I would like to know if the SEO Framework plugin offers HTTPS redirection
   functionality, either in the free or paid plans? I am asking because I am configuring
   Cloudflare for my website and have come across conflicting advice on HTTPS redirection.
   Some sources recommend enabling the “Always use HTTPS” option in Cloudflare’s
   SSL/TLS settings, while others recommend leaving this option disabled and using
   the All in One SEO plugin for HTTP to HTTPS redirection. Your clarification on
   this matter would help me a lot in deciding whether to use the SEO Framework 
   plugin or consider other options.

 * Hello!
 * I also recommend always using the HTTPS scheme. This is not only because it helps
   better protect your visitors’ privacy or hide your password from snoopers but
   also because your webserver can serve content using new protocols, such as HTTP/
   2, for a faster browsing experience.
 * WordPress already primarily handles HTTP-to-HTTPS scheme redirection. If you 
   go to “WP Admin > Settings > General,” you should change `http://` to `https://`
   for both the WordPress Address and Site Address fields.
 * After adjusting the settings in WordPress (it is important that you do), you 
   might find your site is still reachable via plain `http://`. This is not a big
   issue because search engines will start coercing potential visitors to the HTTPS
   version of your site. Still, if that’s the case, your hosting provider might 
   have an option to redirect visitors to the HTTPS version of your site.
 * Alternatively, you can implement a custom .htaccess rule:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
       RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
       ```
   
 * Or you could resort to using Cloudflare’s toggle, which is acceptable for most
   use-cases I can imagine.
 * I strongly advise against using WordPress plugins to manage your site’s scheme
   settings. They don’t do anything useful and only slow down your website. They’re
   only popular because their users haven’t been bestowed the knowledge I just shared
   with you. You’re welcome 🙂

 * Hi [@cybr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybr/)
 * Thank you so much for all this information! This is really helpful! I will take
   your advice not to use WordPress plugins to manage your site’s scheme settings.
   As you’ve probably noticed, I’m new to WordPress and everything related to it.
   So I’m struggling to understand how everything relates to everything else (not
   an easy task!)!
 * I have already changed http:// to https:// for both the WordPress address and
   the website address, and you are right, my hosting provider does offer an HTTPS
   option. Are these measures enough and does this mean that it is not necessary
   to configure Cloudflare’s switching feature or implement a custom .htaccess rule(
   sorry, I realise this may already be a little off topic)?

 * The important work is updating the WordPress Address and Site Address fields;
   I’m glad you took up that advice.
 * Now, if you access your website using http:// and get redirected to the https://
   version, then the server-sided redirect also works, and there’s nothing else 
   you need to do.
 * Have a lovely day 🙂
