Google officially announces the archiving of HTTPS pages, but with eight conditions
By Admin
After a lot of gossip about HTTPS and HTTPS and which is better, and after the many sites that have moved to HTTPS technology, Google comes to us with a statement from one of its employees about Google starting to archive HTTPS pages. This archiving is associated with conditions until the archiving process is completed. So what are these conditions? Follow the following article in which we review the merits of this statement. Zineb Ait Bahajji, who works at Google, stated in her blog on December 17, 2015, that Google had begun giving greater priority to HTTPS pages, based on Google’s interest in security as well as the accuracy of search results. According to Zineb’s statement: If Google’s crawler discovers that there are two pages with similar content on the same domain, one of which works with the HTTP protocol and the other with HTTPS, this crawler will By archiving the HTTPS page, but archiving will take place if and only if the following conditions are met: The HTTPS page does not contain any unsafe links or components.
Google's crawler is not blocked from accessing this page via the robots.txt file. The page does not redirect the user to a second page that uses the HTTP protocol instead of the HTTPS protocol. The HTTPS page does not contain a tag rel=”canonical” that indicates a link to a page that uses the HTTP protocol. If you do not know what this tag is, you can read the note at the end of this article. The HTTPS page does not contain the following meta tag:
The page does not contain links to pages within the same site that operate using the HTTP protocol. The page that operates using the HTTPS protocol is included in the sitemap, or the similar page that operates using the HTTP protocol is not included in the sitemap. The server hosting the site has a valid TLS certificate. These are the conditions stated by Zineb that must be met in order for HTTPS pages to be archived. Zineb follows up on her statement and confirms that Google is trying with this step to make the web safer for the user. We, in turn, believe that the time has come to move to HTTPS or HTTP/2, as it seems that the HTTP protocol is no longer popular with search engines.
Note: Regarding the canonical tag, this tag is used when you have many pages that are similar in content and each page is slightly updated from the previous one. You place this tag on all similar pages with a link pointing to the most recent page between these pages in order to avoid problems with duplicate content. #GoogleSEOtag #GoogleNews #SEO
