Chrome and SSL?

Wouldn't think a major issue unless your taking payments unsecured which generally doesn't happen as most get kicked over to a payment service which is secure. Think it would be minimal the number of people that won't submit an offer unless secure unless they make the non ssl warning symbol a head exploding with blood.

Personally I use SSL across quite a few entire sites that don't even take payments but that's because I only pay $9/year for them. If using a third party sales venue instead of your own site then I guess it's on them if they will make the offer forms secure as well like the payment pages.

SSL not secure advise on Chrome is only on pages that accept payments (e-commerce and payments online)

SSL nowdays is not only for secure online transactions.. it will also affect your ranking:

Thanks everyone for all the replies,

That's what I read before Hypersot it was my reason for asking the question. I'm wondering if places like Sedo and others will add SSL to all the sales pages or keep them the way they are now?

afaik, all marketplaces' sales pages use SSL.

for example, the sales URL of SEDO is https://www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=(domain)
...note the 's' after the http

I had a quick look and Afternic, Epik and Namesilo also use https

Sorry Hypersot I had it confused with landing pages they don't show up with a lock but when I go to the buy this domain now it shows up with the lock. I understand now.

I don't know if this answers the question, but this is from google.

Thank you Traveler,

I haven't read it but I'll be sure to read it now.

This is what it will look like, no head exploding but scary enough.

I've been running wordpress plugin for some sales pages for a bit now so wouldn't be feasible to ssl as only 1 install and then hundreds of domains auto populate to the domain specific lander they land on.

Ran a speed test yesterday without any tweaks done on wordpress plugin pages versus my old php script on the same server I used to use and got Wordpress Pages=52 PHP Script=90 so I'll have to debate but might go back to my old PHP script as the entire site has SSL and appears to load much quicker so 2 positives. Can probably bring that 90 up as well with some tweaks.

Google's Chrome browser began taking steps designed to protect users and encourage companies to use HTTPS. But now, potentially millions of websites that use SSL certificates issued by Symantec and affiliated resellers could find that their certificates are effectively.
