My Backlink has a lot of http

[john park]

I recently purchased an expired domain.

But most of them are http.

What happens if I change this domain to https?

Does http backlink automatically redirect 301?

It doesn't automatically redirect but you can set it to redirect in most control panels like cPanel or DirectAdmin. You can also add the correct rewrite rule in your htaccess file if you know what you are doing.

You have to sent a post request to the server and following a post request, you will be given access to the right webpage with the updated data thanks to the redirect instruction (HTTP 303).

Do you mean you have links coming from http sites, or that sites are linking to http urls on your expired domain?

In the first case this is fine, and probably shows you how aged those backlinks are. In the second case you'll need to setup redirects from http -> https. This is usually done in htaccess or via your hosting admin panel, or services like Cloudflare can do this for you automatically.

Thank you all for your answers.

Let me summarize what I'm saying.

The link from the back link starts with http.

Most of them are old backlinks.

However, my money site recently made an expired purchase, so I'm going to apply https ssl.

Then the backlink points to my money site , They are backlinks that start with http

In this case, is 301 automatically applied and link juice flows to the moneysite that has been changed to https?

NO... http to https is NOT automatically applied.
You need to edit your .htaccess file to implement the 301-redirect or if you use cloudflare you can force https (so cloudflare will do this for you).

You need to make sure that your previous http urls are properly directed to https. This doesn't happen automatically unless you use a service like Cloudflare and use the 'Always Use HTTPS' option. You'll need to make sure those redirects are in place yourself.

The 301 from http to https does come with a slight dampening of any link juice coming through, but overall it's worth it.

Apparently it doesn't now.
