Very good points!
It's very interesting to me that when SSL opens up, you immediately feel like confidential information information is going to be passed (which is usually the case).. I didn't think about that before!
The app portion is def. protected by SSL and switches to that context when you hit the login path.
Your last point is interesting too, as we do pull in external resources such as google fonts, jquery (google's CDN), analytics, etc. but have managed to find an SSL version of those URL's too (luckily). I do see this becoming painful for designers moving forward though when they're trying to pull in external resources that lack support for https url's.
All very good points.
Do you think the average user notices the SSL activation bar?
- mattgaidica 16y agoYea, luckily nearly every major API and service (Amazon, Facebook, Google..) has an encrypted version to pull from. So as long as the entire team understands that, then I only have the usability issue as an argument. If we could get GoDaddy and other hosts to have like a $10 "Add SSL" feature, I think we would see a really good adoption of it being the standard!
