Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, or HTTPS, indicates the use of specific encryption on web browsers. It is used by numerous websites and is considered a best practice for encrypting your site against certain types of malicious attacks.
You can see whether or not a site is using HTTPS by viewing the full URL of a webpage, which is often either http:// or https:// with the latter using the encryption.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a term most often used in product development in business. It refers to the least a particular product needs to do in order to be usable by its intended user.
The purpose of the MVP is to create a usable product and get feedback on it immediately, before additional features are added. This can reduce development time by identifying flaws in a product early in the development process.
This can also relate to web-based applications, which often have non-core features that are not needed for the product to work well for a majority of its users.

Domain Authority (DA)
Domain Authority is an aggregate score for your website that calculates your website’s ranking and likelihood of appearing in other searches. It was first developed by the SEO company Moz, though other analytical software tools have since developed their own versions of the metric.
Domain Authority is not a standardized metric as defined by search engines, but can be a reasonable gauge of overall website health and ranking.
