How to force HTTPS in cPanel
After your SSL certificate is active, open Domains in cPanel. Find your domain and enable Force HTTPS Redirect. This automatically sends visitors from the non-secure HTTP version to the secure HTTPS version. If your website uses WordPress, also check Settings > General and confirm both WordPress Address and Site Address use https://. For custom websites, update hard-coded links, images and scripts so browsers do not show mixed content warnings. Forcing HTTPS protects visitors, improves trust and helps search engines understand your preferred secure version of the site.
