8 Steps to Move Your WordPress Site to HTTPS:

• Back Up Your Website.
• Implement Your SSL Certificate.
• Add HTTPS to the WordPress Admin Area.
• Update the Site Address.
• Change Links in Your Content and Templates.
• Implement 301 Redirects in .htaccess.
• Test and Go Live.
• Update Your Site Environment.

Hi,
If your SEO is affected negatively, this is usually only temporary. You see, Google treats https:// and http:// URLs as two different entities. Even if you set up 301 redirects (as we have done above), those only transfer 90-99% of the link juice. That's why your rankings might go down in the beginning.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted.
