HTTP vs HTTPS differing statistics?

At the moment it sounds like robots and humans can visit either version and having an SSL certificate does not stop that by itself. You could try redirecting everything to the https version with some htaccess as described here:

Change to HTTPS

You need a 301 redirect like this as htaccess: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*) RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] There are other alternatives, but that works for me. Just create a new document on the server using your FTP client. Paste in that code and save it as .htaccess Everything should now default to https://

At a later stage you could also enable HSTS Preload, however that should only be done if you are certain you will always work with https. https://hstspreload.org
