Securing communications with HTTPS
Implementing HTTPS support is becoming an increasingly important requirement in the modern Web. Visitors no longer trust online stores that don't secure communications, and all of the major actors of the industry are slowly eradicating plain-text transmissions. Facebook, Google, and Twitter all default to HTTPS now. Google has even announced that their search engine will promote websites that offer HTTPS support. There isn't any reason left to skip this part, and Nginx makes it particularly easy. We will thus expand on the example in the previous section, and enable HTTPS support on our WordPress site; please note however that the guide remains valid regardless of the application you are securing.
