Will GD Support SSL?

I can’t answer the question, but just to comment…yes, Google is starting to include SSL (https protocol) as a new ranking signal, but important to understand that it will carry only a fraction of importance (~1% claimed) to start and will probably ramp up slowly.

Strong architecture, easily crawlable, and great, unique content will still be the dominant focus.

Obviously moving to SSL presents other challenges, including potentially slower response times, which also runs counter to Google’s focus on faster load times as a quality signal, not to mention that it may be more costly and technically more complicated to get right for most sites that have not needed SSL for traditional reasons like sensitive, personal information such as banking and finance sites, ecommerce, etc.

Good question to ask, but I wouldn’t advise anyone to rush into this.

Well, I have a site with SSL on every page, and the only thing I had to do was modify the twitter and facebook links, and everything loads under SSL by default, I had zero issues with stock wordpress 4.0, Stock BuddyPres 2.1, and SSL, but I had to change the javascript sources for twitter and facebook, all I did as add the ‘s’ in 1 single file with in the core, and it works fine.
