Make main site https

[beginner99]

Not a forum issue but you guys managed to get the forum to https so now it is time to make the main site https especially given the recent anti privacy bill in US.

Hi,

Congrats on the wonderful https update (https://www.anandtech.com/show/11848/anandtech-goes-https-all-encryption).

Few tips..

This also includes redirecting any HTTP requests to HTTPS to ensure a secure connection.

Please enable Strict Transport Security (HSTS) then. Should be easy enough.

That way you not just score an A+ (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=anandtech.com), but you keep us just that little bit safer.

Notice how you just scored a B score on link above and yet you currently score an A @ https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.anandtech.com

Should fix that, so both score A+. And why two different servers for www and without www to begin with.

I'd expect instead for both to be the same but behind a load balancer or use anycast DNS to pick the best server depending on load, location, etc.

Thanks,

Will
