HTTPS
HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, encrypting data between a browser and a server using an SSL/TLS certificate.
It protects any information passing through the page and has been a lightweight Google ranking signal since 2014. Browsers now flag plain HTTP pages as "Not Secure," which alone is reason enough to migrate. Every modern site should serve all pages over HTTPS.
