There has been a lot of discussion about moving a website from http to https and the reasons to do it (i.e. better security, better seo rankings) but, not so much discussion on the steps that are necessary to ensure a successful organic transition. By successful transition I mean one that will not have a negative impact in the organic traffic. Because, by just moving from http to https from a development technical point of view (i.e buying the ssl certificate, switching the website urls to https) is not enough to guarantee the correct transition.
