# Forcing HTTPS on Your Domain

After installing an SSL certificate, you should redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS so visitors always use a secure connection.

## Enabling HTTPS Redirect in Plesk

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Websites & Domains">
    Log in to Plesk and click **Websites & Domains** in the left sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Hosting Settings">
    Find your domain and click **Hosting Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the Redirect">
    Check the option **Redirect from HTTP to HTTPS** (or **Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **OK** to apply.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Plesk will add the redirect rule automatically. All HTTP requests to your domain will be permanently redirected to HTTPS.

## Verifying the Redirect

Open a browser and navigate to `http://example.com` (without the `s`). You should be automatically redirected to `https://example.com`.

<Warning>
  If your site still loads over HTTP after enabling the redirect, clear your browser cache and try again. If the issue persists, ensure your SSL certificate is installed correctly — see [Installing a Free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate](/web-hosting/ssl/lets-encrypt).
