https question

Inser · 02-26-2007, 10:30 AM

okay, it's been a while since I've asked any dumb simple questions you all know the answers to.
when a site is using https instead of http, can spiders still crawl that site?
My understanding is those pages load slightly slower and are just more secure. But I'm starting to suspect they cause all sorts of problems with spiders.
Thoughts?

http is usually standard while https is for security purposes which use for sending sensitive data like credit card numbers between the browser and the web server. well i guess its crawlable coz' its still have results in the SERP..

you can do 301 redirect on that matter. From https to http.

IMO, yes.

the only difference between the two is that HTTPS is more secured.
