Like 10 minutes easy. And free. The key is on Amazon Web Services. Amazon Certificate Manager A few days ago I how I was able to build and deploy a WebGL game of Flappy Bird to a in 35 minutes. I glossed over the fact that there was no SSL. wrote about live website Who cares if my Flappy Bird is not served over HTTPS? Google . Do you want this giant “Not secure” icon on your page? …cause you’ll get it in a few months Google also announced in * that SSL is a ranking signal. Should you risk being ranked lower in search results because you were too lazy / poor to set up SSL? 2014 * Excuse #1: You’re Lazy Check out this insane readme file that I created for myself for how to set up SSL with the domain that I purchased on : gandi.net it goes on for 12 steps… I want to do this again. do not Excuse #2: You’re Poor Gandi.net gives you free SSL for the first year, but charges about for subsequent years, more doubling the price of a domain for a single site. Was it really worth shelling out the extra cash for that side project? 16 bucks No More Excuses As much as I like supporting the little domain providers like Gandi, the process of connecting a domain to SSL on AWS and the cost is… was dead simple I like free. Here’s how I set it up. I’m assuming you’ve used AWS’s static site wizard that I explained in my . last article In the AWS landing page, go here: Select your the website you’ve already set up, then go to your Cloudfront CDN: Edit your “General” settings: Select Request or Import a Certificate with ACM: Add your domain name: Confirm. They’ll send you an email that you need to also approve. Back in the general settings, link up the ssl certificate: You now have SECURE flappy!: SSL is easy, but flappy still isn’t That’s it. 10 minutes and zero dollars. https://unitywebgl.com Are you interested in learning more about WebGL with Unity?
