HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP. It encrypts data between the browser and server, ensuring safe communication. To enable HTTPS, your site must have a valid SSL/TLS certificate.

So, to be clear:

🔒 You cannot activate real HTTPS without SSL.

However, there are a few “simulation methods” or redirect illusions that can make your URL appear secure—though they come with limitations.

COPY THE CODE BELOW

## REDIRECT TO HTTPS ALWAYS
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
