HTTPS helps keep your browsing safe by securely connecting your browser or app with the websites you visit. HTTPS relies on encryption technology—SSL or TLS—to secure these connections. This report provides data on the status of HTTPS adoption and usage at Google.
Security is a top priority at Google. We are investing and working to make sure that our sites and services provide modern HTTPS by default. Our goal is to achieve 100% encryption across our products and services. The chart below shows how we're doing across Google. For more details on the data, please visit our FAQ .
What is encryption? arrow_forwardThe volume of encrypted web traffic to Google varies by country/region. This chart shows the encryption rate of the top 10 countries/regions for web traffic that Google receives. The variation between countries/regions is due to a number of factors, including the types of devices used in that country/region, as well as the availability of software that can support modern encryption technologies like TLS.
Google is investing and working to make sure that our sites and services provide modern HTTPS by default. We know that the rest of the web is working on moving to HTTPS too, but that move can be challenging for large sites. We're committed to making the web a safer place not only for Google users, but for all users. So in addition to providing a guide to enabling https for all website owners via Google Developers, we also provide advice on the pitfalls that we see when sites and services make the move to HTTPS.
Secure your site with HTTPS arrow_forward
We've used private data sources to track the HTTPS state of the top 100 non-Google sites on the Internet. By our estimates, these 100 sites account for approximately 25% of all website traffic worldwide.
As of January 2019, the HTTPS on Top Sites page has been archived. A summary chart is displayed in its place.
