I've got a large(ish) site at the moment which isn't on https.
Its a wordpress site and hosted with Bluehost, and they offer a free SSL and all I need to do is push a button.
But I've got a few nice deep backlinks dotted around which obviously use the http URL.
Am I going to mess these up / lose juice if my URL changes to https? Anybody know whether it will either automatically redirect to the https when somebody clicks through or whether I have to do this manually / perform some sort of painstaking task?
Been putting this off a bit as I'm out my depth, stupid not to just build on https from the start but it was a minor ranking signal at the time and I think it has gained importance as time as progressed.
