# Served over HTTPS

How the Served over HTTPS check works, what a failure means, and how to fix it in the Trust & Authority dimension.

- Dimension: Trust & Authority (10% of the total score)
- This check: 2 points
- Check id: `https`

## What does this check look at?

The homepage was retrieved over https://, rather than only over plain http://.

## How do I fix it?

- Serve the site over HTTPS. Browsers mark plain HTTP as not secure, and crawlers increasingly decline to fetch it.

## Why is it worth 2 points?

Weighted equally with answer readiness: attribution is what separates a quote from a rumour.
