Automatic HTTPS After Deploy: The Lock in the Address Bar
A site published from Clincoo uses HTTPS. Here is what that means for visitors and why the lock matters.
After you deploy in Clincoo, open the public URL and look at the address bar. A lock or secure-connection mark means the page is sent over HTTPS — traffic between the visitor and your site is not sitting in the clear on a casual network.
For a static site, this protects page integrity: someone on public Wi-Fi has a harder time injecting fake ads into your HTML. Contact forms are also more appropriate to submit over an encrypted connection, even before you have a complex backend.
Do not share an http:// link if the browser already redirects to https://. Copy the address after the page finishes loading. If you later attach your own domain, keep the HTTPS redirect on so old visitors are not stranded.
The lock is not a promise the site is bug-free. It only promises the channel. Still check preview, links, and the 404 page. Starting from a safe channel is a foundation you do not have to assemble by hand in Clincoo.
