TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who have an SSL certificate installed and want to enforce secure access to their site. It solves the problem of sites being accessible via both HTTP and HTTPS (or both www and non-www URLs), which creates security and duplicate-content SEO issues, by redirecting all traffic to a single canonical HTTPS URL.

301 redirects to HTTPS
Header-time redirect interception
mod_rewrite .htaccess redirect option
Optional HSTS headers
Canonical domain enforcement (www/non-www)

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple SSL Redirects

No. This plugin assumes you already have an SSL certificate installed, and that you are simply trying to ensure that all traffic uses HTTPS.

No, it does not fix any mixed content issues (resources such as scripts or images requested by your site using non-SSL URLs, which can cause warnings/broken padlock icons in address bars/loading of the resources being blocked) - although it might do so in the future.

The HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) response header informs browsers that the site should only be accessed using HTTPS, and that any future attempts to access it using HTTP should automatically be converted to HTTPS. Strict-Transport-Security reference on MDN

Depending on your configuration, your website might be accessible via both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com. While using www. or not is personal preference, it's usually a good idea to make sure that all visitors access your site using whichever hostname you have chosen. Selecting this option achieves this by applying a 301 redirection that makes sure that requests use the hostname you have specified in WordPress Admin -> General Settings. Troubleshooting This plugin checks your SSL certificate and warns you if it detects any issues, but if you enable it without a properly configured SSL certificate then you could end up not being able to access your website. If that happens please try the following: First, try bypassing the SSL warning in your browser (sometimes the option to do this is hidden behind an "Advanced" or "Show Details" button, in Chrome you need to type "thisisunsafe" - search online for how to bypass SSL warnings in your particular browser). If that doesn't work, try adding the following line in your wp-config.php file to disable the redirection plugin: define('DISABLE_SIMPLE_SSL_REDIRECTS', true); Or, edit your .htaccess file and remove everything between the lines # BEGIN Simple SSL Redirects and # END Simple SSL Redirects
