Main insights
When asked to pick out the website addresses that indicate secure connection, 44% of respondents have made a right choice by selecting the HTTPS encrypted one (https://www.example.com). However, an address without the ‘www’ part (https://example.com) might have appeared confusing: only 20% of people who took the test have marked it as secure. This pattern is prominent in the results of all countries.
