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-Security header to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  • Regularly update your SSL/TLS configurations to support only strong ciphers and protocols.
