Hi all,

I’m trying to get this working but no luck so far. When a visitor gets to the site it loades a non secure page, clicking any link will redirect to the SSL version of the site but this is not happening the first time you visit the site. I tried to follow this docu [Shopware 5 - Tutorials & FAQs - set up SSL certificate in the shop](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-5-en/tutorials-and-faq/set-up-ssl-certificate-in-the-shop) but they “Always use SSL” option it’s not there anymore and using the htaccess options generates a redirection loop.

Run out of ideas to fix this, will appreciate any help

Thanks

Hi Roberto!

Could you please try the following in your vhost file?:

```
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

```

That should solve your problem!
