not sure about that but 5 seconds to load your website due to the massive images... O.M.G. https://www.webpagetest.org/result/1807 ... b3c0b4fe8/

ok, then ONLY deal with https: at the moment so that search engines will find your site BUT people wont wait the 6 seconds for your site to load before moving on.
of course your site should only have "s" else it will be marked unsafe by chrome etc.

Be adventurous. Submit all . It won't hurt your rankings but your page speed will hurt your bounce rate

Firstly,
You need to add both HTTP and HTTPS.

Secondly,
You must need to redirect all link to https://example.com or https://example.com with the canonical tags. It's very important to grow your site SEO ranking without duplicate content.

See more about the canonical issue from google support: https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 9066?hl=en

Well i think "sozzled" that it will duplicate the content as other two guys also think same. More over i think i should only submit with https:// for which my website is running.

The purpose of this post was to understand that it will cause any impact on SEO by duplicating content or not but it is converted into my exam! So what i think i told u

Good. You have answered your own question. I agree with you.

If your website only uses http:// then submit "http://" to Google. If your website uses https:// then do not submit both protocols to Google; just submit "https://". Simple.
