 After installing WordPress from Instalatron/cPanel as an HTTPS site, the
 expected redirect from HTTP to HTTPS did not take place. I checked options
 in the DB and it was set to HTTPS. The WordPress URL and Site URL in
 Settings>General reflected HTTPS, but no redirect.

 Using two fresh installs as a controlled test, I found that setting a
 Static Page as the landing page solved this issue and the domain was
 redirected to the HTTPS version of the website as expected.

 No plugins were added aside from Hello and Akismet. The theme was Twenty
 Seventeen.
