What is measured
The audit inspects the final protocol after every redirect from the starting address.
Trust and structured data
HTTPS connection
This check confirms that the audited website resolves to the protected HTTPS scheme.
Pass criterion
The primary website uses HTTPS and HTTP or www variants permanently redirect to one canonical host.
What to fix
Configure a valid certificate, automatic renewal and a direct permanent redirect to the HTTPS version.
Automation limit
HTTPS protects transport but does not fix application vulnerabilities, unsafe data handling or weak access control.
