This is about security. Website owners can request an SSL certificate. It tells users that the site is secure and they can rest assured that they are protected against basic threats. This will not protect you against all threats so as usual, browse responsibly.
To be clear https is the secure one, if you use google chrome it will tell you. Don’t be completely put off sites that don’t have https although it is a sign that the developer wants to keep the user happy if they do have it.
If you have any more questions that will help you and others, let me know so I can update this page. Let’s get started….
