Redirects the page to HTTPS if its currently in HTTP. Also, pressing the back button doesn't take it back to the HTTP page as its replaced in the history.
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.
```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
```
