 * Hi,
 * I can’t find info on my web hosting server or the internet about the difference
   between HTTPS and Enforce HTTPS. Could someone help me understand this please?
 * Thanks.

 * That screenshot looks like something from your hosting account and not from WordPress
   at all.
 * Even so, the “difference” between the two as you’ve asked is that HTTPS provides
   a secure layer for visitors to view your site through a https:// link, but allows
   visitors to also visit using a non-secure http:// link. Force HTTPS would force
   all visitors to use https:// and will redirect any non-secure requests to be 
   secure.

 * Thanks! You are right; it is from the hosting account. Although that is the case,
   I have seen HTTPS notices from my WP dashboard, like from the Site Health plugin,
   etc… and was curious about the difference.
