[Splendor]

Hi,

Using SSL sitewide, any recommendation regarding that?

Or using it in parts, all password related part and checkout.

Hey Splendor. I have a site that is strictly SSL (every page). What info are you looking for?

@sharmstr, I’m thinking of adding ssl to the whole site, but I don’t know how problematic it could be regarding the using kleo with buddypress and bbpress. Also the linking?

If it does slow down the site? As there is different approaches, some of them are by using SSL only on certain pages.

I haven’t experienced any issues with the whole site being over SSL. Obviously you’ll throw some non-damaging/non-displaying SSL errors when viewing an activity item (image, video) that is being served via http instead of https.

I haven’t done any formal testing but all of my sites are with the same host (read: same distance from me) and I haven’t noticed a noticeable difference speed difference between my ssl and no ssl sites.

If it were me, I’d stay away from severing some over ssl and some not.

@sharmstr, ok. How can you possible solve that types problems with images? I’m using cdn with maxcdn, but I’ll have to go over their ssl cdn instead. Also, the biggest concern for me is, the linking of everything, will it be problem with that part? or does that solve it self?

I dont know how to avoid serving both ssl and non ssl media when you allow media to be displayed that isn’t hosted on your server.

The issue you’ll have when you switch to SSL is all of the hard-coded non ssl links in the db. For example, rtMedia and kleo hard-code http: to the db. You might have to run a sql script to change all http: to https:

yes, that is something that have crossed my mind, as the site is under beta but live, it’s very important to make this transition to SSL very smooth. Wrong links all over the place wouldn’t be a fantastic user experience heheh..
