Need to update small website to SSL but so much on the net seems confusing or conflicting, eg :
Most guides say all links should be relative but another says absolute URLs are best in some cases, like rel=canonical, for search engines.
Because I do not have a dedicated IP address, some older browsers will give false warnings.
Guides say www.mysite.co.uk and mysite.co.uk are not necessarily both covered. Eh? It's the same site!
I should make sure the content on the HTTP and the HTTPS site is the same. Eh? Ditto.
CONFOOOOOSED. Seem lots of potential problems! Any suggestions for most comprehensive guide? It's with web hosting and does not use any standard systems, Wordpress, jquery, commercial shopping carts etc.
Also best approach to testing. Seem to be so many pitfalls I think I might be better off using another domain to use as a test version, but not sure I can install SSL for a sub domain.
Cheers.
