google and https pages

edbr · 12-20-2015, 11:56 PM

Google today announced its search engine has started indexing HTTPS pages by default. More specifically, Google Search now crawls HTTPS equivalents of HTTP pages, even when the former are not linked to from any page.

as long as the pages

doesn’t contain insecure dependencies.
isn’t blocked from crawling by robots.txt.
doesn’t redirect users to or through an insecure HTTP page.
doesn’t have a rel=”canonical” link to the HTTP page.
doesn’t contain a noindex robots meta tag.
doesn’t have on-host outlinks to HTTP URLs.
The sitemaps lists the HTTPS URL, or doesn’t list the HTTP version of the URL.
The server has a valid TLS certificate.
