That means don't ask sensitive information (credit card numbers) until the very last.* Use http[SecureBrowser]s[/SecureBrowser]://xxx/xxx on your credit card info page so that visitors get switched over to https: only if their browser supports it.* On the final ThankYou page, put a link that leads back to http: (non-secure) so visitors don't continue to browse your site in slow SSL mode.I hope this helps.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
