Google has rolled out a new security standard this month, and site owners, as well as SEO experts, may notice a significant dip in their search ranking if they don’t make changes to their site now.
With the new Google Chrome 62 update, the search engine will mark any HTTP page that contains a form for information for a customer to fill out as ‘not secure.’ This is expected to have a massive effect on search rankings as it is difficult to think of a site that does not use a variation of a form on at least one page of their site.
Even blogs may allow users to log in to post comments and this type of page will not be immune to the warning. As such, basically every website online could be at risk of being impacted by this update.
