What this check looks for

HTTPS encrypts the connection and authenticates the server. Without it, Chrome's URL bar shows a "Not secure" warning that crushes trust signals before the page loads. Let's Encrypt is free, certbot automates the renewal, and most hosts ship a one-click SSL toggle. If your homepage is still HTTP in 2026, this is the easiest single SEO fix on the list.
