Since Google announced that it gives an additional SEO boost for sites that are fully encrypted with HTTPS it is now advisable to encrypt your entire site and not just pages with sensitive information such as user login and checkout pages.
There are multiple method to achieve this. We like using the below modification to .HTACCESS file.
In the .HTACCESS file that is located in the Drupal root directory after the the line:
RewriteEngine on
Simply add this code to the:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
Your Drupal .HTACCESS file should now have a section that looks similar to this:
# Various rewrite rules.
RewriteEngine on
# Set "protossl" to "s" if we were accessed via https://. This is used later
# if you enable "www." stripping or enforcement, in order to ensure that
# you don't bounce between http and https.
RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]
NOTE: This, of course, assumes that you've procured a valid SSL certificate for your site/domain and have it installed correctly.
