Site loads over HTTP: how to force HTTPS

Security · Fix today · vibeliq reports this as “Your site can be loaded without encryption”

Why it matters

On plain HTTP, anyone between your visitor and your server (café Wi-Fi, an ISP) can read and change the page, including passwords. Every modern host gives you HTTPS for free.

How to check it yourself

Type your address into the browser with http:// in front. If the page loads and the address bar still says http, or shows 'Not secure', visitors can reach your site without encryption.

What the fix involves

Turn on the free certificate your host provides and add a permanent redirect from every http:// address to its https:// twin. On Vercel, Netlify and Cloudflare this is a single setting.

How vibeliq checks it

We load your page the way a visitor's browser would, read what your server sends back, and look at a short list of well-known addresses on your site. If this turns up, your report explains it in plain English and gives you a prompt, written for Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or whatever built your site, that fixes it in your actual codebase.
