How to Install and Enable HTTPS (SSL) on Blogspot Custom Domain

Blogs that have HTTPS protocol will be more reliable and safe for visitors. Of course this can be a plus for your blog.

By default, Google provides HTTPS service is free for all blogs created under the auspices of Blogspot / Blogger. It’s just that this service is active when the blog is still using the default subdomain, for example domain.blogspot.com

If you already use a custom domain alias TLD (Top Level Domain) such as .com, .net, Id, and so forth, this service can not be used again automatically. It is clearly stated in the regulation itself Blogspot.

3. Things to Consider When Using SSL on Blogspot

Mixed Content
There is a possibility of Mixed Content (mixture between HTTP and HTTPS), which resulted in some images or the script can not run perfectly. To fix this, you can change the URL of the picture and the script that was originally http to https.

Check the URL Script and Pictures
Check the URL of the script that you post. If the URL is http, https to replace immediately.

Check each article and make sure all the image URL changed to https. Pegel indeed. But for maximum results, why not.

Submit a Sitemap to Google Webmaster Birthday
Make all blog index to https. For that you have to re-submit a sitemap to Google Webmaster. Do not let your blog index was twofold http and https.Google later confused.
