It has been a long time coming but I have finally for this website running on HTTPS / SSL. Google have been pushing webmasters and site owners to move to HTTPS for more than 10 years. Google in fact they stated in 2014 that HTTPS should be used and stated that it was a ranking signal. In 2017 Google started marking sites that collected credit card and/or password information as insecure. I didn't move the site to https as it does not collect and data and is static. But almost every site now is https so it was time to change. We are a security company!
We have made thousands of changes to the site to ready it for the switch over. Its quite a big website and we needed to make sure nothing would break. The site moved to http last night just before midnight and we still have had to fix things most of today to get it working properly. The main parts of the site were table last night but lots of peripheral parts has to be tweaked and changed including this blog editor. The blog pages are actually static and no database behind it.
So its live on https and we have set up redirects from all old URLs so you can still find us on old links and get redirected to the new ones
I had a website before PeteFinnigan.com but registered and started to put content on this site on the 3rd may 2001, 24 years ago!!
