Query related to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS?

[matthewjohn938]

One of my friend migrated his website from old domain to new domain few months ago. Now he wants to secure the website and want to migrate from HTTP to HTTPS.

Is it OK to have chain redirection? Does it affect the rankings of the website?

So he has to create 301 redirects of all the old URLs to the new URLsin order not to lose the SEO juice of the old pages.

edit your web server's settings or the.htaccess file.

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS: You can use server-side redirects to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

you should be good to go with redirection with this data
