Very useful resource. Having gone through this pain already, I can tell how much this resource will help, if u haven't already done the move to https. One more configuration option to include is installing ssl certificate at load Balancer, if u have one.

Thanks @sridhar_kondoji, I'll add this into the process.

It doesnt explain how to move your "social proof" or likes etc from facebook twitter... I mean at our site http://open-classifieds.com/ we have 2.8K shares and in httpS://open-classifieds.com/ we got only 1 ... anyone can help? ;)
Andrew Stilliard
@deambulando I did look into this, there are some hacks talked about but in truth it's something you sacrifice as part of the migration. If you've setup your redirects properly the shares will still work, but the counter will reset.

@stilliard thats why we do not force the redirect .... count to 0 is a social kill....
Andrew Stilliard
@deambulando well your domain is still out there on those networks so that's not lost. Yes the count will reset but if the only place that count is shown is on the share buttons you could consider hiding the count until it's regained some ground. AddThis have an article on this though I personally wouldn't recommend their hacky fix: https://www.addthis.com/blog/201...

Https is the most important factor of SEO and every page should now consider https as an important factor
