# In October Google Chrome will Mark HTTP sites as "Not Secure"

It's time to have your site served over https, especially if you have any pages where users submit data. Come October, only a few short weeks away, google will mark sites that don't use https as **Not Secure.**

Since [2014 Google has given secure sites an SEO boost](http://searchengineland.com/google-starts-giving-ranking-boost-secure-httpsssl-sites-199446). Now however sites that are not secure and accepting visitor input of any kind will be penalized with a **Not Secure** warning.

Your site will be impacted by this if it accepts any sort of text input from visitors. This includes contact forms, search bars, or login forms. Learn more about [this here](https://9to5google.com/2017/04/27/google-chrome-62-not-secure-http-sites/).

The above image comes from the [Google Security Blog entry](https://security.googleblog.com/2017/04/next-steps-toward-more-connection.html) on this topic. It's important to make this move because Eventually all sites that are not served via https will be marked Not Secure.
