 * Hi there,
 * can I actually delete the plugin after switching to SSL or does it have to be
   permanently installed?
 * Thx in advance.

 * Hi [@fitnsexy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fitnsexy/),
 * removing the plugin will stop some functionality like the mixed content fixer
   and revert the site back to [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deinstallation-after-using-the-plugin/?output_format=md).
   That being said, it is possible to deactivate the plugin and keep SSL. For an
   overview of possibilities see [https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/can-deactivate-really-simple-ssl-activating-ssl/](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/can-deactivate-really-simple-ssl-activating-ssl/)
