I have been analysing my site using SEO tools and note an issue with HTTPS version of the site. I am not using https and will not install a certificate so I need to know how to generate a 404 page when someone attempts to navigate to https version of site?

Hello David,

Please see this thread:

Also consider redirecting any https traffic to the http version of your site using the .htaccess file  -  this would in many ways be a better solution.  404 errors are not user friendly and do not reflect well on either your website or your SEO.

For example, https://www.siteground.com/kb/redirect-from-https-to-http/

Kind regards,

Paul

Thanks.

The SSL was only $100 per year, so I purchased ssl (even though I do not have ecommerce but Google seems to rank sites with ssl higher)
