Do I lose link juice if I install SSL?

[vikiendu]

I have a website without SSL (http).

Now I want to install SSL (https) for my website; however, all of my backlinks are non-SSL version.

Do I lose link juice if I install SSL?

No, because http is 301 redirected to https.

It won't affect your link juice I think. Maybe you will see some fluctuations in the rankings for a period of time.

There could be certain fluctuations in the ranking but I don't see you losing ranking or link juice.

It won't have any effects on the backlink aspect. Bounce rate might lower after SSL is setup.

Installing SSL does not cause you to lose link juice or rankings.

No, installing SSL does not cause you to lose link juice or rankings. In fact, SSL certificates play a crucial role in enhancing website security, boosting SEO rankings, and establishing trust among users . Google has indicated that the presence of SSL and HTTPS on websites is a positive ranking factor in its search algorithms since as far back as 2014. While it may not be a direct boost, having an SSL certificate contributes to a safer and more secure online environment, positively impacting user experience and, consequently, SEO.
