==== Additional notes ====
* https://search.google.com/search-console - Google search console URL
* The SSL certificate is from letsencrypt.
* From an end user point of view, adding an SSL certificate just means that the site has migrated from http to https (http://kamaraju.xyz/dk -> https://kamaraju.xyz/dk etc.,)
