Have your viewing figures gone down since July?

Why July? Well, that’s when Google updated the Chrome browser to version 69 which identified http sites as “Not secure” while https sites show the padlock sign to indicate that they are secure.

If Chrome indicates that your website is “Not secure”, especially if it’s an e-commerce site, do you think that viewers are likely to go to your Shop and input their credit card details? So have sales…
