Which pages should be SSL?

[newtoEstore]

I just enabled SSL on my site. I'm wondering what pages should be "secure". I expected the whole site to show as secure. The same is true with my admin. When I log into the admin section, it shows as secure;however, when I roll-over any selection in the download menus, they all show as http and not https. Is this normal? Is there a reason to have the admin as all https? Is there a reason to have all of the "normal" web store as https?

There's no reason for your whole store to be under SSL. In fact it may slow your site down. If you enabled SSL according to the tutorial: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...alled-zen-cart , Zencart will secure those pages where it's necessary.

Thanks for that. I take it that if I followed the tutorial (which I did) then the admin section is correct also?
