HTTP/HTTPS

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of data communication on the web, used for transmitting website data. HTTPS (HTTP Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, encrypted using SSL/TLS to protect data integrity and privacy. HTTPS is essential for secure online transactions and is indicated by a padlock symbol in the browser's address bar. Switching to HTTPS improves website security, builds user trust, and is often favored by search engines.
