+Redirects the page to HTTPS if it's currently in HTTP.
+
+- Use `location.protocol` to get the protocol currently being used.
+- If it's not HTTPS, use `location.replace()` to replace the existing page with the HTTPS version of the page.
+- Use `location.href` to get the full address, split it with `String.prototype.split()` and remove the protocol part of the URL.
+- Note that pressing the back button doesn't take it back to the HTTP page as its replaced in the history.
+
+```js
+const httpsRedirect = () => {
+  if (location.protocol !== 'https:')
+    location.replace('https://' + location.href.split('//')[1]);
+};
+```
+
+```js
+httpsRedirect();
+// If you are on http://mydomain.com, you are redirected to https://mydomain.com
+```
