How to resolve duplicated SEO content for HTTP and HTTPS in Kentico 7

The simple fix is to force HTTPS on your site. You can do this at the master page level by going to Properties>Security>Require SSL. This will replicate through the rest of the pages as they inherit from the master page.

Thank you for your response.

However, is it caused any performance problem due to HTTPS requires an initial handshake which can be very slow?

Thanks, Trung

It's a matter of preference between security and speed. You can do it also the opposite way choosing Never. It may actually make sense to use both.

Use Never for public sections, and Yes for private sections if there are any.

Dear,

Certainly, I mentioned to the public page like HomePage, Product Listing page...that prefer to speed than security so I am looking for a better solution like using Canonical links or robot.txt specified for Kentico. Please provide me some advises if you can.

Thanks, Trung

The speed difference you're talking about are going to be milliseconds, unnoticeable to the end user and won't make that big of an impact on SEO. There are other ways within Kentico to gain those milliseconds back. In fact, you can gain seconds back by performing other actions and still leaving your site under HTTPS. A few things to mention are:

• disabling viewstate
• specifying columns in queries
• use Kentico's minification engine
• fine tune Kentico's caching engine
• enable compression on the server

Plus you get the bonus of having your site secure and your viewers have that good feeling knowing they are secure.
