Enabling 'HTTP Strict Transport Security' (HSTS, RFC6797) might be a

HSTS means that HTTP is off (or just redirects you to HTTPS). The first S 
stands for "strict" and we mean it. :-)

Well, not entirely; the redirect is strictly not part of HSTS. Without a
redirect we give visitors an option; if you come in via http, fine... If
you come in via https with a browser that understands HSTS, then it's
https from that moment on.

And once we're all used to that, we can add the redirect ;-)
