I've been practising how to Fetch in Google and believe that I am following all the steps. When I go back to the console, it states under Status that it is "redirected" and tha

You'll also get a redirect if you you added a trailing slash to the URL submitted

So https.my website.com/ even though it is correct actually redirects to https://my website.com

That's not a problem actually. But if you want the "complete" status instead of the "redirected", then resubmit your website with the https. Like https://mywebsite.com and resubmit the sitemap. Then fetch all the URLs again. I think you might see the "complete" status when indexing is requested. Just give it a try. But indexing happens even with your http site.

Thanks - I'll give it all a go :)
