 * Hello, quick thing. After activating Really Simple SSL on a basic site, is it
   okay to leave most settings as default, or are there any common options I should
   review before keeping it live?

 * Hi [@sidney33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidney33/),
 * Yes, for most sites the plugin’s default settings are a good starting point. 
   If you’ve completed the plugin’s initial onboarding (when clicking **Activate
   SSL**), you typically won’t have to manually configure a lot of settings.
 * If needed, you can manage the other features via the plugin’s settings page (
   Security -> Settings), to activate or manage settings like Email 2FA and Vulnerability
   Detection.
 * Kind regards, Jarno
