Please forgive me \u2013 it\u2019s time to get technical for a moment, but I promise this is something that you really need to be aware of. Google\u2019s Chrome browser is about to implement a change that could have a dramatic impact on how people view your website. And just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day!\u00a0If you want to skip the technical stuff just scroll to the action items at the end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is it time to get secure?<\/h2>\n

It’s official, as first announced back in September the upcoming Google Chrome 56 update which will be released on January 31 this year will mark all sites that don\u2019t use HTTPS or SSL as \u2018Not Secure\u2019. The reason for the change is that Chrome currently displays HTTP connections with a neutral indicator which doesn\u2019t reflect the true nature of whether an HTTP connection is secure or not. The reason for the change goes to the essence of security; when loading a website over HTTP, someone on the network could intercept and modify the site before it gets to you. The change will be rolled out in gradual steps, for now, this will only apply to pages with password and credit card fields. However, soon it will apply to ALL sites that don\u2019t hold SSL certificates. Eventually, all non-HTTPS pages will show in Google Chrome as \u2018Not Secure\u2019:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Chrome<\/p>\n

The impact on florist websites<\/h2>\n

Google Chrome is the most popular internet browser\u00a0and has been since mid-2012 when it surpassed Internet Explorer for the top spot. According to various sources, Chrome accounts for 51%-63% of all visits to websites in December 2016. Across our network of Florist 2.0 websites, we\u2019ve seen Chrome jump from 38% to 40% of visits just from December 2016 to January 2017. This means that if your site is not secure, you risk having between 40%-62% of your website visitors being scared away by the Not Secure warning.<\/p>\nIf your site is not secure you risk having 40%-62% of your Valentine's shoppers scared away. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

\"Lost<\/p>\n

Stats from Google have shown that already a large portion of web traffic has switched to HTTPS so far and that HTTPS usage is on the rise. However, most florist website providers do not provide SSL for the florist\u2019s domain; it\u2019s usually only for a shared, third party checkout URL. In the past, there has been the argument that SSL may have been too expensive or was too slow, costing visitors and in turn sales to the site. However, this is no longer the case due to new protocols such as HTTP\/2 and SPDY \u2013 These protocols were produced to transport content on the web, with the focus solely on speed and to decrease latency and improve page load speed in web browsers, they have since become the standard for web servers.<\/p>\n

\"https<\/p>\n

Soon when the changes take place, they will have a huge impact on florist\u2019s websites. Any visitor to your website will soon be confronted with a message similar to the image above, labelling the website as \u2018Not Secure\u2019. From a user perspective, whether browsing through the site or about to make an initial purchase, seeing the words \u2018Not Secure\u2019 all over your site will instantly lead to an interpretation on the customer\u2019s part that the site is firstly not safe to browse on and certainly isn\u2019t safe to make a transaction on \u2013 Trust and Security being paramount in the customer decision-making process. As already mentioned, the majority of web providers don\u2019t provide SSL for the florist\u2019s domain; it\u2019s usually only on a shared, third party checkout URL. While this will be okay for the next few days, it could have a catastrophic impact on florist websites and drive visitors (buyers) in the other direction \u2013 Perhaps to a competitor whose website isn\u2019t displaying a \u2018Not Secure\u2019 message.<\/p>\n

So, ask your web provider if they will be ready come January 31st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Action Items<\/h2>\n

If you aren’t sure how your site will fare under this new change from Google, here are a few steps you can take.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visit\u00a0https:\/\/www.whynopadlock.com\/<\/a> and enter your site’s URL.\u00a0This tool will test your site to see if it can load fully under HTTPS instead of HTTP.
    \n\"why-no-padlock-test\"<\/li>\n
  2. Check if your website supports HTTP\/2, a much faster web protocol officially launched in July 2015.\u00a0https:\/\/tools.keycdn.com\/http2-test<\/a>\u00a0 (Hint: F20 websites do<\/a>!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Finally, if your website passes the test, congratulations! If not, it’s time to contact your website provider and ask about their plans and timeline to make you compliant. The deadline is near, and the cost to non-compliant sites could be significant.<\/p>\n

    Note: At the time of writing we have only confirmed Strider\/Florist 2.0 and EpicFlowers as being compliant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
