sorry for the Newbie type questions, but here goes another...

  • If I purchase SSL and it is installed on server, but I don't do 301 redirect to HTTPS does the website function as before? (I mean, no insecure errors that weren't there before)
  • Can I access a page using https prefix to see if there are any compliance issues?


Would that work as a method of testing SSL/HTTPS compatibility?
