    Hi,

    I can’t find info on my web hosting server or the internet about the difference between HTTPS and Enforce HTTPS. Could someone help me understand this please?

    Thanks.

    That screenshot looks like something from your hosting account and not from WordPress at all.

    Even so, the “difference” between the two as you’ve asked is that HTTPS provides a secure layer for visitors to view your site through a https:// link, but allows visitors to also visit using a non-secure http:// link. Force HTTPS would force all visitors to use https:// and will redirect any non-secure requests to be secure.

    Thanks! You are right; it is from the hosting account. Although that is the case, I have seen HTTPS notices from my WP dashboard, like from the Site Health plugin, etc… and was curious about the difference.
