Yahoo, I'm secure!
I have a site that I created to promote my local marketing business.
The site is several years old and was originally created under another name and on Hostgator hosting.
It has been updated and revised a few times but I finally decided it was time to bring it over to WA. I transferred the hosting to WA a while ago and when the registration expired, I transferred it to a WA registration.
Now that it is stable, I activated the site security feature and made it secure. This is a bit of a process in itself as the Google Analytics property needs to be updated to https and a new entity for the https needs to be created inside Google Console. Once the tracking is sorted, all references to http need to be removed and updated on the site. Most of this is done when WA updates it to the secure system but there are always a few little references that are not detected.
After doing this a few times I find that the widgets are usually the place that gets missed. So, off I go to the widgets to make a few manual adjustments. This time I found about 8 references that needed to be adjusted manually.
Poof...A fully secure site.

I don't even know the difference between HTTP and HTTPS other than one has an "S" and one does not. Sounds like a real technical achievement so congratulations and great work! If I ever have to do converting like this, I know who to come see from now on!
