I'm kind of in the 'Google's right, but I don't think they're being wholly accurate' camp, which is full of marshmallow, twinkly stars and the like.

I want to help people deal with the upcoming Google Chrome update. If your website is served on HTTP, you need to ensure it is served via HTTPS by October 17th 2017. Google Chrome v62 will mark URLs served via HTTP as "Not Secure" when a user enters data into a form. In Incognito mode, the URL will be marked as Not Secure when the page is loaded. This will affect your website's conversions, revenue and lower the user's trust in your brand / site / service / product. #SEO #HTTPS #Redirects #SiteMigrations #WebsiteSecurity #DataPrivacy
