HTTP does not redirect to HTTPS

Effort to fix: Quick win (under an hour)

Why it matters

Visitors who type your domain or follow old links land on the insecure version, which can be intercepted before they ever reach HTTPS.

How to fix it

Add a permanent (301/308) redirect from every http:// URL to the same https:// URL at the server or CDN level.

On WordPress

Most hosts have a 'Force HTTPS' toggle. Otherwise add the redirect in .htaccess (Apache) or the server block (Nginx) rather than in a plugin, so it happens before WordPress loads.
