Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/HTTPS)
The standard protocol for transferring web pages between servers and browsers, with HTTPS adding encryption for secure data exchange.
HTTP is the standard language that browsers and servers use to communicate and exchange web pages. When you type a website address, HTTP tells your browser where to find it and how to retrieve it. HTTPS is the secure version that encrypts the data being transferred, protecting sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers. Modern browsers now mark HTTP sites as unsafe, so switching to HTTPS is essential. It builds user trust, improves SEO, and keeps your website communication private and secure.
