What is HTTPS?
The secure version of HTTP that encrypts all data sent between a browser and website
Why It Matters
HTTPS is essential for user trust, required by browsers, and improves your search engine ranking
Real-World Example
The 's' in https://13labs.com.au means your connection is secure and encrypted
“Understanding terms like HTTPS matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
From definition to deployment
Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
