The Joomla! Global Configuration allows you to configure SSL, but if a visitor enters a Joomla! page through non-HTTPS, this visitor is not automatically redirected. Also you can't enable SSL for just some pages, while all other pages are served through regular HTTP.
While the Apache htaccess file can be configured to contain RewriteRules for this, it is much more complicated and error-prawn. This is the main reason why the YireoTM SSL Redirect plugin was developed.
I have to admit to being no expert in intense internet stuff and I knew I needed to have SSL, but had no real idea how to control switching between the http and hhtps versions of my site. I installed this plugin, clicked on the items and components in the parameters, and that was all. It worked perfectly first time. Plugins like this a really good in that they give a lot of control and peace of mind to Joomla users who are not PHP programmers. I can't speak to the support of this plugin, because I didn't need any. Simple to use and elegant in operation. Well done!
Exactly what I needed-installed seamlessly-worked first time. Can't ask for much more than that! Thank you Yireo!
I've been trying to hack JoomSEF component to force non-SSL pages to SSL without much luck. I have been playing with .htaccess also but it gets pretty messy.
I found this plugin and installed it in a flash and bang it work perfectly!
Thanks Yireo for this fantastic plugin!

Just one more review (if any doubt remained!) stating this is one of those perfect must-have extensions which really deserve to be part of the Joomla core.
Installs in seconds. Operates in seconds. Saves hours and hours of otherwise painful redirection efforts.

Fought with issues we were having with SSL and non-SSL pages on a CB site for ages. This plugin solved them in 2 min flat (install time included).
This also resolved issues we were having with IE refusing to go back to non-SSL mode on pages after leaving secured pages. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
One Extra note on Custom pages. If you want to use this for your lost password page - make sure to list it as https in the URL you paste into the custom list.

This small plug-in was the solution to hours of trying to sort out how to fix my SSL issues.
After spending the better part of a day trying to get an SSL Certificate working with my site I found this extension and was up and running in under 5 minutes! I'm using the extension to make certain pages on the front end of my site secure as well as the entire admin area. This extension is very, very easy to use. Great alternative to configuring your .htaccess file for switching between secure and non-secure pages. I highly recommend this extension to anyone looking for a simple solution for SSL integration.
Downloaded, installed & configured in under a minute...saved me tons of manual SSL configuration! This should be part of the core Joomla install.
Very nicely done!

After getting SSL working on the shopping area of a site, encountered the problem of being redirected to https for entire site after virtuemart page. Found this plugin while searching for solutions and works perfectly just as everyone says. Installed plugin, enabled it, and problem solved instantly. Zero difficulty and fool proof!
I came to get the link to the extension to give to some else and then I noticed that I hadn't left a review from the last time I used it which saved me hours and hours and hours of debugging!
This extension is absolutely beautiful and it works great for ssl redirection. It does exactly what it says!
I had 0 issues with it! :-)

Had a site with a single form + confirmation + front-end admin section. Needed SSL for all, but hated the idea of playing with .htaccess, or counting on other measures.
Main problem was how to direct links+menu items to https, and back once you're under SSL - and this extension did it *flawlessly and easily* - just what every developer asks for...
So thanks for a great free extension!

My heart sunk when I realized the client wanted an SSL Form on their site, I hadn't done that with Joomla/Godaddy. This plugin to the rescue, it couldn't have been easier.
I installed in seconds, configured in a few more and bingo-bango it works like a charm.
Thank you!!
