The easiest way to improve security! Leverage your SSL certificate and protect your website visitors.

== Description ==
Really Simple SSL will automatically configure your website to use SSL to its fullest potential. Use extra security features to protect your website, and use our server health check to keep up-to-date.

== Features ==
* Easy SSL Migration: Takes your website to HTTPS in just one-click.
* Let's Encrypt: Install an SSL Certificate if your hosting provider supports manual installation.
* Server Health Check: Your server configuration is every bit as important for your website security.
* WordPress Hardening: Tweak your configuration and keep WordPress fortified and safe by tackling its weaknesses.
* Vulnerability Detection: Get notified when plugins, themes or core contain vulnerabilities and need appropriate action.

== Improve Security with Really Simple SSL Pro ==
* The Mixed Content Scan & Fixer. Detect files that are requested over HTTP and fix it. Both Front- and Back-end.

=== Security Headers ===
These features mitigate the risk of clickjacking, cross-site-forgery attacks, stealing login credentials and malware among others.

* Independent of your Server Configuration, works on Apache, LiteSpeed, NGINX etc.
* Protect your website visitors with X-XSS Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options and Referrer Policy.
* Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security and configure your site for the HSTS Preload list.

=== Advanced Security ===
Isolate your website from unnecessary file loading and exchanges with third-parties. Fully control your website and minimize risk of manipulation.

* Designed for WordPress.
* Control third-parties with the Content Security Policy - including Learning Mode.
* Control browser features with the Permissions Policy e.g. geolocation, camera's and microphones.
* Isolate information exchange between other websites. Fully control in- and outbound of data.

=== Advanced Hardening ===
* Choose a custom login URL
* Rename and randomize your database prefix.
* Change the debug.log file location to a non-public folder
* Disable application passwords.
* Control admin creation
* Disable HTTP methods, reducing HTTP requests.

=== Vulnerability Measures ===
When a vulnerability is detected you will get notified accordingly. With Vulnerability Measures you can configure simple, but effective, measures to make sure a missed notification is not the end of the world.

* Force update: An update process will be tried multiple times, until it can be assumed development of a theme or plugin is abandoned. You will be notified during these steps.
* Quarantine: This extends the update process, which will run. When a plugin or theme can't be updated to solve a vulnerability, it will be disabled and deactivated. Use with caution!

== How does Really Simple SSL's HTTPS migration work? ==
* The plugin will check for an existing SSL certificate. If you don't have one, you can generate one in the plugin. Depending on your hosting provider, the plugin can also install it for you or assist with instructions.
* If needed,  It will handle known issues WordPress has with SSL. An example might be that your website uses a loadbalancer, proxy or headers are not passed to detect a certificate.
* All incoming requests are redirected to HTTPS with a default 301 WordPress redirect. You can also choose a .htaccess redirect.
* The Site URL and Home URL are changed to HTTPS.
* Your insecure content is fixed by replacing all HTTP:// URLs with HTTPS://, except external hyperlinks, dynamically.
* Cookies with PHP are set securely by setting them with the HTTPOnly flag.

== Love Really Simple SSL? ==
Hopefully, this plugin saves you some time. If you want to support the continuing development of this plugin, please consider buying [Really Simple SSL Pro](https://www.really-simple-ssl.com/pro/), which includes some excellent security features and premium support.

== About Really Simple Plugins ==
Other plugins developed by Really Simple Plugins are: [Complianz](https://wordpress.org/plugins/complianz-gdpr/) and [Burst Statistics](https://wordpress.org/plugins/burst-statistics/). Really Simple SSL is developed by [Really Simple Plugins](https://www.really-simple-plugins.com).

For generating SSL certificates, Really Simple SSL uses the [le acme2 PHP](https://github.com/fbett/le-acme2-php/) Let's Encrypt client library, thanks to 'fbett' for providing it. Vulnerability Detection uses WP Vulnerability, an open-source initiative by Javier Casares. Want to join as a collaborator? We're on [GitHub](https://github.com/really-simple-plugins/really-simple-ssl) as well!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Knowledge Base =
For more detailed explanations and documentation on redirect loops, Let's Encrypt, mixed content, errors, and so on, please search the [documentation](https://www.really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/)

= Vulnerability Detection =
Vulnerability Detection is currently in Beta. It's stable, but needs scale to improve. If you can provide us with feedback, please do so!

= Mixed Content issues =
Most mixed content issues are caused by URLs in CSS or JS files. For detailed instructions on how to find mixed content read this [article](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-track-down-mixed-content-or-insecure-content/).

= Generating a Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate =
We added the possibility to generate a Free SSL Certificate with Let's Encrypt in our Really Simple SSL Wizard. We have an updated list available for all possible integrations [here](https://really-simple-ssl.com/install-ssl-certificate/). Please leave feedback about another integration, incorrect information, or you need help.

= Redirect loop issues =
If you are experiencing redirect loops on your site, try these [instructions](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/my-website-is-in-a-redirect-loop/).

= Is the plugin multisite compatible? =
Yes. There is a dedicated network settings page where you can control settings for your entire network, at once.

= Uninstalling Really Simple SSL =
The plugin checks your certificate before enabling, but if, for example, you migrated the site to a non-SSL environment, you might get locked out of the back-end.

If you can't deactivate, do not just remove the plugin folder to uninstall! Follow these [instructions](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/uninstall-websitebackend-not-accessible/) instead.

== Upgrade notice ==
On settings page load, the .htaccess file is no rewritten. If you have made .htaccess customizations to the RSSSL block and have not blocked the plugin from editing it, do so before upgrading.
Always back up before any upgrade. Especially .htaccess, wp-config.php and the plugin folder. This way you can easily roll back.
