Wie stelle ich Joomla auf HTTPS um?

Nach der Einrichtung des Zertifikats beim Hoster wird in der Joomla-Konfiguration „SSL erzwingen“ aktiviert. Zusätzlich müssen fest eingetragene Links auf Bilder und Dateien angepasst und Weiterleitungen von HTTP auf HTTPS eingerichtet werden.

Warum zeigt der Browser trotz Zertifikat „nicht sicher“?

Meist liegt das an gemischten Inhalten: Einzelne Bilder, Schriften oder Skripte werden noch über HTTP geladen. Wir finden diese Stellen und stellen sie auf HTTPS um.

Kostet ein SSL-Zertifikat Geld?

Nicht unbedingt. Viele Hoster bieten kostenlose Zertifikate von Let’s Encrypt an, die sich automatisch verlängern. Für die meisten Joomla-Seiten reicht das völlig aus.

Hat die Umstellung Auswirkungen auf das Google-Ranking?

Bei korrekt eingerichteten 301-Weiterleitungen behält Google die bisherigen Rankings bei. HTTPS ist zudem selbst ein positives Signal für die Suchmaschine.

SSL certificates for your Joomla sites (https)

Are SSL certificates important for a Joomla site? What a question! Wouldn't it be nice if both Google and your customers really trusted you?

And wouldn't it be nice if there were a technology that encrypted communication between user and website?

Here's the big news: this encryption exists, and it's called SSL, which stands for Secure Socket Layer.

SSL ensures that important data such as usernames, passwords and credit card information can be sent from the user to the site without the risk of eavesdropping.

When websites are protected with SSL, they are given a so-called certificate. You can recognise an SSL-certified website by the “https” (‘s’ for secure) at the beginning of the address in the browser bar.

Important to know: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires the use of SSL by website operators who collect visitor data (for example through a contact form).

And: Google likes to downgrade websites without encryption in the ranking. But that's no problem, because we equip your Joomla site with an SSL certificate. And BOOM, there's trust.

Frequently asked questions about SSL with Joomla

All questions and answers

How do I switch Joomla to HTTPS?

After the certificate has been set up at the host, “Force HTTPS” is activated in the Joomla configuration. In addition, hard-coded links to images and files must be adjusted and redirects from HTTP to HTTPS set up.

Why does the browser show “not secure” despite a certificate?

Usually this is due to mixed content: individual images, fonts or scripts are still loaded via HTTP. We find these places and switch them to HTTPS.

Does an SSL certificate cost money?

Not necessarily. Many hosts offer free certificates from Let’s Encrypt that renew automatically. For most Joomla sites that is perfectly sufficient.

Does the switch affect the Google ranking?

With correctly set up 301 redirects, Google keeps the existing rankings. HTTPS is also a positive signal for the search engine in itself.
