**Site Performance:** While encryption adds some computational overhead, modern software and hardware can handle this overhead without substantial deleterious impact on server performance or [latency](https://istlsfastyet.com). Websites whose content delivery networks or server software support the SPDY or HTTP/2 protocols, which require HTTPS in some major browsers, may find their site performance substantially improved overall as a result of migrating to HTTPS.

**[Server Name Indication](https://https.cio.gov/sni/):** The Server Name Indication extension to TLS allows for more efficient use of IP addresses when serving multiple domains. However, these technologies are not supported by some legacy clients. Web service owners should evaluate the feasibility of using this technology to improve performance and efficiency.

**Mixed Content:** Websites served over HTTPS need to ensure that all external resources (images, scripts, fonts, iframes, etc.) are also loaded over a secure connection. Modern browsers will refuse to load many insecure resources referenced from within a secure website. When migrating existing websites, this can involve a combination of automated and manual effort to update, replace, or remove references to insecure resources. For some websites, this can be the most time consuming aspect of the migration process.

**APIs and Services:** Web services that serve primarily non-browser clients, such as web APIs, may require a [more gradual and hands-on migration strategy](https://https.cio.gov/apis/), as not all clients can be expected to be configured for HTTPS connections or to successfully follow redirects.

**Planning for Change:** Protocols and web standards improve regularly, and security vulnerabilities can emerge that require prompt attention. Federal websites and services should deploy HTTPS in a manner that allows for rapid updates to configuration and replacement of certificates.

**[Strict Transport Security](https://https.cio.gov/hsts/):** Websites and services available over HTTPS must enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to instruct compliant browsers to assume HTTPS going forward. This reduces insecure redirects, and protects users against attacks that attempt to downgrade connections to plain HTTP. Once HSTS is in place, domains can be submitted to a ["preload list"](https://hstspreload.appspot.com) used by all major browsers to ensure the HSTS policy is in effect at all times.

**Domain Name System Security (DNSSEC):** This proposal does not rescind or conflict with M-08-23, ["Securing the Federal Government's Domain Name System Infrastructure"](http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2008/m08-23.pdf). Once DNS resolution is complete, DNSSEC does not ensure the privacy or integrity of communication between a client and the destination IP. HTTPS provides this additional security.
