Encrypting site content increases server load, so response time may lack a little.. and we all know Google does take that into account. Also, it might be important that robot files and sitemaps are under the https protocol. I am guessing Google is pretty darn smart about it, I can only imagine though that a broken certificate throws a red flag.
- rubyskills 16y agoHa! Interesting.. I wonder if Google does count that against you since part of their latest algorithm factors in page load times.. though I would think that having your site behind https might give you some extra kudos somewhere.. considering you verified the integrity of your site at least.. (ALTHOUGH, there was that recent security breach where we someone can spoof being a CA...)
- mattgaidica 16y agoYea, I am sure there is some top secret Google magic if they are forced through SSL!
