When a website upgrades from HTTP to HTTPS for better security, this change might affect the validity of your Divsly short links. It's important to ensure that your links continue to direct users to the correct version of the destination URL.

Ensuring Link Validity

  1. HTTP to HTTPS Redirects: The website owner must set up a redirect rule that automatically directs all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. This is a common practice to ensure all users access the secure version of the site.
  2. Example Scenario: If you have a short link like mykicks.co/my-cool-site pointing to http://website.com, it will need to redirect to https://website.com once the site switches to HTTPS.
  3. Site Owner Control: Only the website's owners can control the switch from HTTP to HTTPS and set up the necessary redirects. This change cannot be made by you or by Divsly.

By ensuring that the destination website has proper HTTP to HTTPS redirects in place, you can maintain the functionality and security of your Divsly short links.
