If you own a WordPress website and ever encountered the “Not Secure” warning, you might have worried that visitors would perceive your site as spam or fraudulent. Not only does this warning impact user trust, but it can also create technical search issues when both HTTP and HTTPS versions of your pages remain accessible or when redirects, canonicals, and sitemaps point to different URL versions. Browsers show the visible security warning, while search engines rely on permanent redirects, canonical URLs, and updated sitemaps to understand your preferred HTTPS pages.
