title: Mixed https and http or pure https for google?
body: <p>Me and my colleague have a little discussion about the <a href="https://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.hu/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html" rel="nofollow">HTTPS as a ranking signal</a> topic.</p>
  
  <p>Because we want to serve google what we can, we decided, we will buy a certificate.</p>
  
  <p>At this point my colleague sad, now let's change all the external resources links for example (to our CDN) <code>//</code> instead of <code>https</code>, so now users can access our page both <code>http</code> or <code>https</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I told to him, do not do this, let's use <code>https</code> everywhere, and in the <code>.htaccess</code> redirect all the http requests to https.</p>
  
  <p>Let's say, our cdn is now on <code>http://cdn.example.com</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I say, let's write <code>https://cdn.example.com</code>, while my colleague say use <code>//cdn.example.com</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What is your experience with this, what is the recommendation to incrase google page rank?</p>
  
  <p>I know, it's a littlebit opinion based, but maybe you have argument for one or for the other.</p>
