Yeah that site is earning good.

correct me if I am wrong, you'll lose rankings but eventually get them back in a few weeks?

I don't want to lose rankings at all

I've switched many sites and never had any long term problems. Some of they saw gains, but that may have been a coincidence frankly. I simply chose a reputable SSL provider and switched over.

I've updated one of my sites to https... before some of the more modern algo updates though.
My rankings seemed to continue going up like normal still.

backlinks pointing to http would face a 301 permanent redirect from http to https, not sure if this is an exception but usually redirects dont pass all juice, solution is to start from https

Have a look at this URL https://www.keycdn.com/blog/http-to-https/. I think it will help you.

I lost rankings for 1-3 months (some keywords are still steadily climbing back to where they were), but it was probably because some weird shit happened and all my internal links were nofollowed. I think it is an issue with Genesis and the really simple ssl plugin, but its probably resolved now.

using https will improve rankings

You won't lose rankings. If you do, it will be temporary. Set preferred domain in search console, setup http to https redirect in .htaccess and use the following plugin to move any content currently located on http to https: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/

NO You wont lose rankings for weeks or not even days just be sure to add the property in webmaster and google will take care of it.
I moved 2 websites this month and not a single ranking drop or traffic loss.

Do you have a guide on properly migrating to https?
