Absolutely. Not sure how its handled by cloudfront, but make sure you 301 redirect from http to https. And if you monitor your traffic in Google's Search Console tool (why wouldn't you?), you have to set up the https version as a completely separate site. Data for the http site is not reflected in the data for the https site, and vice versa.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoSo if you add HTTPS to your site you lose continuity of stats and have to amalgamate statistics across "2" sites from then on? .. there's a really good reason for Google to do this, right?
- shanecleveland 9y agoTechnically you can serve different content on http and https (same as with www and non-www). Search Console also allows a way to group together sites to view data/stats together.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoHave you ever heard of anyone serving different content on http vs https pages with the same URL?
- shanecleveland 9y agoI certainly have not considered a reason for doing that myself. I'm just saying that is the case and it is important to be aware of it to ensure you get credit for backlinks to your site and avoid duplicate content penalties.
