Hello. My provider installed SLL certificate for my page. Now they told me to chagne internal links from HTTP to HTTPS. I am not expert here so I am asking. What is there way to do it in WWB? Or other way? Thanks

WWB doesn't care. Use .htaccess on the server to force https.
Something like this should work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]

You do not have to change internal links. Internal links use relative paths, so they're updated automatically.

Thank you Alan and Pablo, to follow all the new things is not my cup of tee, but I try to meet SEO rules. Now I have LOCK icon of the padlock but is not green, just gray. I have no external links, just my own images. Why it is not fully secured then? Or is it?

It is difficult to say anything meaningful about this without seeing the website.

There are links to Facebook and twitter which use http instead of https
Also, there is a reference to
http://schema.org/ instead of
https://schema.org/

You are right Pablo. I do not use those socials...did not realise.. But for the
http://schema.org/ I do not see simple way to change it. Can you help here too please. Thank you for such a acumen approach!

It looks like you have used the buil- in 'Structure Data' object so there is nothing you will need to change.

OK then my page will be considered as not fully secured (no green padlock just gray)? Even If I have SLL certificate, no unsecured links and so? Maybe question for others but is there anything I can do better for SEO https from WWB point of view?

Hi "Diogenes". I checked my sites and the padlock is grey/black for me to. If I remember correct it was in the old "Explorer" browser it showed up green??
It does not show green in any of my modern browsers... Edge, Chrome....

I don't think this has anything to do with WWB. You will make sure all your (external) links are https.

OK Pablo if the schema.org link is considered as not external them I am fine. Well I would be fine anyway, but just to understand it.
Bluessman, I see some sites in my browser with green lock padlock and some with gray lock or unlock red. Usually the banks has green and we ordinary mortals gray. But I am not sure this my opinion will be accepted by SEO experts.

The color of the lock icon depends on the type of SSL employed on the site. The green lock indicates an "EV" certificate (extended) that offers a higher level of assurance and is six times more expensive than the "regular" DV certificate. Both are considered secure with regard to SEO.
