The “Not Secure” Warning
Users running Google Chrome 68 or higher, set to be released via auto-updates on July 1st of 2018, will see a “Not Secure” warning in the address bar for any site that is not using an SSL certificate (also known as “https”). If your website does not show “https://” with the green “lock” icon in the URL bar, you need to act now and set up an SSL certificate.

SEO Penalties for Non-Compliance
Google has announced penalties for sites that remain as “Not Secure”; your rankings could be impacted, and your competition who use SSL certificates on their site will be boosted above your non-secure pages. Google is also considering marking non-secure sites with a warning icon in the search results, which could dramatically reduce the number of clicks you get.
