 not present here, so…

 I love your thoughts here, thanks @juliobox! I totally forgot about Nginx
 configurations, along with all the quirks that come along with hosting
 providers. In this sense, it would certainly be difficult for us to adjust
 forcing SSL for all environments.

 One alternative might be to detect the recommended providers
 (https://wordpress.org/hosting/). It still might be hard to determine if
 they are using Apache or Nginx, since some hosts allow for both.

 **What other options might we have to help users force SSL on their
 site?**
