Using my own domain will ssl come as standard.

[Weareweebly]

I am looking to sign up to weebly using my own domain on the starter pack will my weebly site be ssl secure, or will I have to purchase it from weebly? If so how much will this cost me.

Thanks

@Weareweebly:  As of now and as far as I know SSL does not come free with starter or pro plan.

 We're working on rolling SSL out for free to all Weebly, so once completed you'll be able to enable this on the Settings tab for your Starter site. I don't have a fixed ETA for this, although it'll be as quickly as we can complete the rollout.

@Adam

Great news Adam!!

Hi, can I please check if this will be before the Google Chrome 62 update on 17th October?

[cgtours]

I have a Pro plan and SSL has been activated for me in the last 24 hours -so yes it is being rolled out!

[Deesgiftgal]

I am also having issues with this right now. My site wont open in several browsers because of the SSL issue. I am using the PRO package and there is no option to activate or enable the SSL. This post wasnt showing a date so I am assuming this was October the 9th of 2017? Hoping I'm in the loop for the rollout solution. deesgiftgallery.com

We're rolling this out now in phases to all Weebly sites, so you should see an "enable" option soon @Deesgiftgal. Your site should load just fine over http (rather than https) right now, though.

Adam,

Will Weebly be publishing any guidance to users who want to enable SSL about what else they need to do - like re-direct all their pages from http > https addresses, update Google Search Console etc?

I couldn't see any reference to this when I followed the 'find out more' link in th eemail I received earlier this week - so only know because I follow SEO and webdesign blogs.

Thanks.

[Adam7]

We automatically forward all non-https URLs to https after you enable SSL, so you don't need to set up any redirects. Cached Google links should also automatically update over time as Google sees these redirects.

Regarding Google Search Console, since we automatically forward it should continue tracking fine.

Thanks Adam - that is good to know!

What about new pages I create in the future - after my site has migrated to https? How will Google know about them if I haven't added my new site in GSC?

Google's own help page https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6033049 seems to be saying you should add your new site in GSC...

Last question (!) - does the fact my site is not hosted by Weebly make any difference?

Many thanks.

[Adam7]

Those pages will be added to your sitemap.xml file, and will also be presumably linked from your navigation or from other links on your site. Google will be able to find them just fine so they get indexed properly.

This is a screen shot of what I get when I try to go to my domain. it's on godaddy servers. I used their set up wizard. It set the ip addtress to point to weebly. Is there another reason this would be happening other than the SSL cert.issue?  Thank you for responding @Adam

[Adam7]

Did you just type in "https://www.deesgiftgallery.com" in your browser address bar, or did your browser automatically use https @Deesgiftgal? 

Your site doesn't yet have SSL so adding the "s" to http is going to give that error. If you don't use https it will load fine, though.

[Deesgiftgal]

In every browser Explorer, Chrome, Opera, and FireFox on a chrombook, a dell windows 10 laptop and a Dell Windows 7 laptop, and a laptop using UBUNTU,... All of them we just typed www.deesgiftgallery.com.

I did try to type the https once with no luck and the http without the (s) just to see what would happen. It also wont open on my phone browser either...Samsung Galaxy 4 with android and chrome bowser.
The only browser I can get it to open in is Chromium which is Linux Mint browser on my laptop with Ubuntu running on it. I'm not  sure why this is the only browser that will allow me to open the website.

My husband was able to get the website to come up on his machine several days ago, but now he is also getting the security warning and warns that someone may be trying to steal his information.
Sorry I am at a loss as to why this is happening... Did you try to access the page in your own browser? If so why would it come up for some people and not for others?

[Adam7]

Are all of these computers using the same modem or router for internet access? I'm wondering if it's something in that part of the internet chain which is forcing HTTPS.

[Deesgiftgal]

@Adam... No they are using different ones as 3 of us have different wifi providers and phone compnaies. Tmoble Sprint and Verizon ... they are however all MYFI or WIFI devices...
No other websites come up with this error for any of us. As long as I use the basic web brouswer that came on my android the website comes up fine. If I use the Chrome web Browser on my phone it comes up with the warning about Connection is not private, NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALAD
When I go to advanced below this message it says:

I have tried with chrome to only type in www.deesgiftgallery.com and this is still what it gives me. It automatically turns it into a https.
Could it have anything to do with me having an online store there?

[cgtours]

I have no idea what criteria Weebly are using for their rollout - but I have had an account for over 5 years so this might explain why I have access to this feature before others?

[Weareweebly]

The sooner the better, as we all know it will give Weebly a big advantage then over other site builders. Beer in Mind https will only secure the domain path addresses and not all of the site's paths such as images etc. This will bring up issues with browsers like firefox display a half lock padlock saying that the site is not fully encrypted. i hope Weebly will look into solving away around this issue. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. 

[Adam7]

All site assets will be served over HTTPS when you enable SSL, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Do you have an ETA yet?   I tryed to enable on my site and it wanted me to upgrade to Weebly Business.  

Thanks!  Kevin
