    Hey everyone,

    I'm wondering if you guys enable this option? Are there security measures involved when leaving a link unencrypted? Just wondering what the true benefits are with encrypting b/c I noticed the load times increase drastically when the encrypted link is clicked...


    Thanks

    I generally don't use it... and opt to include a nofollow tag and it seems to be a good strategy.

    Slow loading links will hurt you.

    The theory is that encrypted links help protect against cookie hijacking.
