One major endorsement for ensuring your site is secured and encrypted with an SSL certificate came from Google on August 6th, 2014 via its online security blog. The plan is to give more weight (better search ranking results) to websites that are fully HTTPS encrypted
The reason is pretty simple, according to Google webmaster trends analysts Zineb AitBahajji and Gary Illyes. "We’d like to encourage all web site owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS to keep everyone safe on the web. A big part of that is making sure that web sites people access from Google are secure." Their message couldn’t have been clearer : “We hope to see more web sites using HTTPS in the future.” It’s about encouraging websites to change the way they protect themselves for the better - and to fully protect data in transit all over the internet.
