Facebook didn’t provide any specifics about the reason for the problem but an error message on Facebook’s webpage make experts believe the outage is related to issues with internet infrastructure, specifically DNS

What is DNS ?

DNS stands for ‘Domain Name System’.
DNS translates easy-to-remember domain names to numerical IP addresses.
In other meaning, DNS is a service that translates domains into IP addresses.

An IP address looks like 192.168.1.1

For example, when you type our domain name (https://saedx.com) into your browser, the internet service provider (ISP) views the DNS of our domain name and translates it into IP address then directs your internet connection to our server where we have stored the data files of our website, delivering up this set of stored files.
These stored files include all the content, HTML, images, CSS, videos, fonts, JavaScript files, and more which show up as a website.

Now back to the Facebook issue, for some unknown reason, Facebook’s DNS records, as well as BGP records, are gone from the internet. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the system that figures out the best route for a packet to travel across the internet.

According to a Facebook company source to Reuters said that they believed that the outage was caused by an internal routing mistake to an internet domain that was compounded by the failures of internal communication tools and other resources that depend on that same domain in order to work.

The Google Chrome browser 68 last release in this July 2018 marks all HTTP sites as “Not secure”. It’s Time for Moving your website to HTTPS / SSL to avoid these browser warnings!

Google and other tech companies are pushing the websites owners for using SSL Certification to be the default connection protocol used by their websites.

For SEO, Google already ranks websites higher when they use HTTPS over those websites that do not use HTTPS.

Example of a website that using SSL:
http://www.saedx.com vs https://www.saedx.com

In an effort to drive the world towards the secure global internet, Google Chrome began marking all HTTPS web pages as
secure last year. In the space of a year, progress was incredible with developers worldwide transitioning their sites to
HTTPS and making the web safer.

According to Google stats:
Around 68% of Chrome browser traffic on both Android and Windows system is now protected with SSL

Around 78% of Chrome browser traffic on both Chrome OS and Mac is now protected with SSL

81 of the top 100 websites on the internet use HTTPS by default

At last month (July 2018), Google has rolled out some more major changes with the Chrome browser 68 updates.
All websites not with SSL certificate will prominently display a warning in the address bar, alerting visitors to the risks of insecure connections.

What is SSL certificate?

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer.
A standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.
another definition
It is a protocol which creates a secure connection between a client and the server over which to send information.

What Does SSL Do?

SSL certificate main major is to encrypt info to be only read and understood by the intended parties. This Info submitted on Internet forms often passes through multiple computers before reaching its final destination, and the more “stops” it has to make, the higher the chance that a third party could obtain access. An SSL certificate inserts random characters into the original information, rendering it incomprehensible to anyone without the proper encryption key. If the information does somehow wind up in the wrong hands, it will be unreadable and therefore useless.

Get an SSL certificate for your website today to avoid these warnings.
