Google is promoting the use of encryption on websites, informing their creators that it will display websites with https in their URLs in a better position in its results.
Google's goal is to make it a given for website creators to secure their visitors from would-be hackers. It is a fact that Google's decision to include the use of encryption among the factors that the search engine takes into account when presenting results will lead with mathematical certainty to the more widespread use of https by website creators.
According to Reuters, Google is making it clear that the use of https will not be as important as other factors taken into account for ranking pages in search engine results, such as content quality, but it will also play its role, so websites will gradually begin to adopt it, and this can only be described as a positive step.
