Necessary to implement SSl/https ?

lfoppiano commented 10 months ago

I'd implement it. It should not be too complicated and it gives a more serious perception, as nowadays most of the websites are using https

Thanks Luca.

For using auto-renew with a free SSL certificate one option is certbot + Let's Encrypt. A paid certificate costs 166 euros per annum.

Free certificate lasts 90 days but autorenew is possible using certbot and cron job https://letsencrypt.org/docs/faq/

Paid certificate costs 166 euros per URL. https://elements.heroku.com/addons/expeditedssl

I think you should start free and upgrade if becomes difficult to auto-renew.

Done. Used Heroku's Automatic Certificate Management with free Let's Encrypt certificate
