Keyword
Keyword is a bit of a misnomer, because it can refer to a word or entire phrase that appears in web searches.
However, in either case, it refers to a word or phrase representing a specific search term and idea. Websites will build strategies to rank for particular keywords that are closely related to their products or services, in order to generate more traffic and leads.

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.
