 * Hi,
    I switched my whole site to https. I have a redirect to https in .htaccess.
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
       RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
       ```
   
 * I first had put this code in the # BEGIN WordPress block after “RewriteEngine
   On”. When Cachify is activated (HDD cache), I can still access the site with 
   http.
 * I figured out that I had to add the above code already in the cachify htaccess
   code block, right after “RewriteEngine On”. Then it works.
 * This may be obvious to experts but maybe not to beginners that follow instructions
   from the web.
 * Maybe this information can help others with the same problem.
