    Hi Stella, thank you for using King care.

    The link you have provided us with, you see it starts with https? The s stands for secure. 

    I found this official speak on a website, if you google http v https you will see the difference yourself.

    "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted. HTTPS is often used to protect highly confidential online transactions like online banking and online shopping order forms.

    Web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome also display a padlock icon in the address bar to visually indicate that a HTTPS connection is in effect."

    Which browser do you use? I know my google chrome browser, no longer shows a padlock, but it does say secure. But as long as it starts with https, its all good :)

    Oh thanks for the clarification. I usually see the padlock as well as the word 'Secure' before https, same as I do now with your Kingcare link.
