Migration of the site to https protocol provides protection against attacks based on sniffing the network connection

To do this in the config.php file in the root directory of your site, change the URL to HTTPS: 

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://mecmep.site/');  

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mecmep.site/');

file

Next, in the admin folder, also open config.php and add the HTTPS protocol: 

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://mecmep.site/admin/');  
define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'https://mecmep.site/');  

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mecmep.site/admin/');  
define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://mecmep.site/');

Set up HTTPS redirects in .htaccess

Next, configure redirects for all visitors to HTTPS
The following rules should be added to .htaccess in the root folder of the site between lines RewriteEngine On and RewriteBase /.

If you have the main site mirror without www: 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]  
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http [OR]  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =""  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-HTTPS} !1 [OR]  
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !robots\.txt  
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

If you have a primary mirror with www: 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]  
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http [OR]  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =""  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-HTTPS} !1 [OR]  
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !robots\.txt  
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
