How can I improve HTTPS security across multiple subdomains?
Asked on Sep 12, 2025
Answer
To improve HTTPS security across multiple subdomains, you should implement a wildcard SSL certificate and ensure that all subdomains are configured to use HTTPS with strict security headers.
Example Concept: A wildcard SSL certificate allows you to secure multiple subdomains with a single certificate. For example, a certificate for *.example.com will secure www.example.com, api.example.com, and any other subdomain. This simplifies management and ensures consistent security across all subdomains.
Additional Comment:
- Ensure that each subdomain enforces HTTPS by redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS.
- Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with the
Strict-Transport-Securityheader to prevent protocol downgrade attacks. - Regularly update your SSL/TLS configurations to support only strong ciphers and protocols.
