HTTPS Redirect

Ensures that HTTP traffic is automatically redirected to HTTPS.

What is this check?

This check verifies that any user trying to access the `http://` version of your site is automatically and permanently (301) redirected to the secure `https://` version.

Why is it important?

Even if you have HTTPS, users or old links might still try to access the insecure HTTP version. A redirect ensures that all traffic is forced over the secure channel, preventing any unencrypted communication.

What is the impact?

Without a redirect, you could have a mix of secure and insecure traffic, which is a security risk and can also cause duplicate content issues for SEO.
