    Hi all.

    I have this site about bookingsystem. And as you can see its http, i do not have a webshop as we speak however, it might be developed, some time in the future. I´ve heard that google prefers https, so i have though about changing. Is there an easy fix to this and how long will it take? do i need my developer to do it or is it possible for one that knows just a little coding to do it?

    Thanks in advance

    Depends on how little you know. It could be really easy if your script doesn't hardcode links. Could be a hassle if everything is hardcoded.

    You should activate your SSL in your domain, once activated it will be https:

    No, it will not. OP will need to "force" the use of https himself.

    Answer to the OP: it depends in your hosting. If your website runs on a cPanel based server, most likely it has LetsEncrypt plugin installed, which means your hosting provider can provide you with a free SSL certificate. Once SSL is generated for your domain, add this code to your .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
    Code (markup):
