For now it’s only a very lightweight signal - affecting fewer than 1% of global queries.”Perhaps I’m the only one to worry about:1) Exhausting the limited number of remaining IP addresses (OK I admit IPv6 will fix this).2) The increase in the amount of processing a webserver will be required to do to serve ALL sites over HTTPS.3) Webmasters forgetting to renew SSL certs on time and destroying their traffic due to “this site is unsafe” warnings in visitors’ browsers. Bear in mind Google have said: “We’re starting to use HTTPS as a ranking signal. Officially, MT provide no support when things go catastrophically wrong, and there is actually nothing in the control panel or Account Centre that can fix it – it has to be done in server command line. So, the only point I have to disagree on, is using the Media Temple supplied certificate (I think they come from GoDaddy). I had to remove the certificate because of this, but despite many, many communications with MT, some sites were still getting random certificate warnings several years on – to the huge detriment of site traffic.
