WordPress multisite is a great tool to streamline website management while providing site owners with some versatility. At its best, multisite is the perfect solution for managing multiple websites at once.
But, a multisite certainly isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. There are some caveats. Before we celebrate or dismiss it, let’s take a look at multisite and see what it’s all about.

This is sometimes needed by third-party applications that only accept connections from services they know about.
Perhaps you've heard the news surrounding "secure" websites? A secure site is better for your users. Their data (and yours) is safer. Google adds new rules all the time that could affect your search engine ranking. Luckily, most hosts offer an easy way to turn HTTPS on. You could even get a free SSL certificate through Let's Encrypt.
So let's say you do that: you enable SSL on your domain. How do you make sure your WordPress site is secure? Specifically, how do you make sure you don't get Mixed Content messages?
