Enabling SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) on your website ensures a secure connection between your site and its visitors. SSL helps protect sensitive data, boosts your search engine rankings, and improves user trust. Here’s a step-by-step guide to enable SSL on your website using cPanel’s AutoSSL feature and forcing SSL redirection.

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Log in to your cPanel account using your provided username and password.

Learn how to log into cPanel.

Step 2: Access the SSL/TLS Status

In cPanel, locate the “Security” section and click on the “SSL/TLS Status” icon. This will open the SSL/TLS Status page.

Step 3: Run AutoSSL

AutoSSL automatically installs and renews free SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. On the SSL/TLS Status page, select the domains for which you’d like to enable SSL, and then click on the “Run AutoSSL” button. The process may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 4: Verify the SSL certificate installation

Once AutoSSL completes the process, you should see a green lock icon next to your domain name(s), indicating that the SSL certificate has been successfully installed.

Step 5 (optional): Enable Force SSL Redirect

To force all traffic to use HTTPS, go back to the main cPanel dashboard, and locate the “Domains” section. Click on the “Domains” icon to open the Domains page.

Find the domain for which you want to force SSL redirection and toggle the “Force HTTPS Redirect” switch to the “On” position. This ensures that all visitors to your website are automatically redirected to the secure HTTPS version of your site.

Step 6: Restart your browser

Restart your browser to flush the SSL session cache.

In cPanel, under the Software section click MultiPHP Manager.

For each of your domains, select the appropriate PHP version:

How do I select a separate PHP version for a domain or sub domain?

To revert a domain to use its own PHP version, go back to the MultiPHP Manager and select a PHP version from there. 

Here’s a quick guide on how to redirect to www and non-www using .htaccess:

To redirect to www:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

To redirect to non-www:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

Simply add the appropriate code to your website’s .htaccess file to apply the redirection.

To edit the .htaccess file in cPanel:

1. Log in to cPanel and go to File Manager.
2. Enable hidden dotfiles by clicking “Settings” in the top-right and checking the box next to “Show Hidden Files (dotfiles).”
3. Locate the .htaccess file and right-click it to edit it using the code editor.
4. Save changes when done.

The main .htaccess file is usually located in the public_html folder. However, it’s possible to create one for every folder.

Remember to proceed with caution when editing the .htaccess file as incorrect changes can cause issues with your website.

Some website performance monitoring tools may warn you that GZIP is disabled. If you find that GZIP compression is not enabled on your website, it might be because Brotli compression is being used instead. Brotli is a more advanced compression algorithm that offers better compression ratios and faster loading times.

Brotli vs. GZIP in LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS)

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) 5.3 supports both Brotli and GZIP compression. It caches both types of compressed content and can convert between them as needed. However, to save disk space and improve efficiency, LSWS prioritises Brotli over GZIP.

How LSWS Handles Brotli and GZIP

When a browser requests content, LSWS checks its cache. If the requested compression type is not available, LSWS decompresses the cached version and re-compresses it to the desired format. If this conversion occurs frequently (more than 10 times), LSWS will cache the converted version for faster access in the future.

For example, if your website has Brotli compression enabled, LSWS will serve Brotli compressed content to browsers that support it (like Chrome). If a browser that only supports GZIP (like Firefox) requests content, LSWS will decompress the Brotli version, re-compress it as GZIP, and serve it to the browser.

If GZIP is not enabled on your website, it is likely that Brotli compression is being used instead. Brotli offers better performance and is prioritised by LiteSpeed Web Server. Rest assured that your website’s performance is still optimised for users with different browser preferences.
