HTTP to HTTPS
-
I had a site that was http://www.site.com and now the entire site is https://www.site.com.
I notice in WMT its showing https://wwwsite.com listed as not verified. I never added it, but did Google recognize it and added it to my list of sites?
- Do I need to verify it? Is it ok to have verified http:www.site.com and additionally https://www.site.com
Also, i submitted a new sitemap and indexed pages are low. Will that go up as Google crawls the site?
The https://www.site.com was launched about a week ago.
Thanks.

Short answer - Yes
slightly less short answer - just like most people add www. and none www. to webmasters its good to do the same for secure sites while not essential its good to make sure you've got all bases covered also means you don't miss any communications from Google that may come through that site. Let me know if you want more info and ill do my best to get it to you.

No index for http version of website
Hi, I've had a message from Google search console to say the sitemap for the http version of my site is tagged as no index. As the https version is indexed, do I need to change the http version to be indexed as well? Do I need to keep the http version of the site in search console alongside the https version, or should I remove it? Advice appreciated!

Website accessible on http and https. Is it bad?
We noticed that our website is accessible on: http://www.example.com and https://www.example.com Both the versions have page rank of 4. Though on https version we have added canonical tag indicating http:// version as preferred. Is this fine or we need to use 301 redirect and let the site be accessible only on http:// version??
