HTTPS by default
Replit has implemented an HTTPS-first policy for all servers hosted on its platform, automatically securing user applications. This change ensures that all incoming HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS by default, enhancing privacy and integrity. The platform manages approximately half a million HTTPS certificates using the Automatic Certificate Management Environment protocol, primarily through Let's Encrypt, employing both HTTP-01 and DNS-01 validation methods for certificate issuance and renewal.
