Making the move to HTTPS is not without it's challenges.

What could we do to help?

More awareness of what HTTPS is for clients and design agencies.

Improved tools for discovering and being alerted of mixed content and similar issues.

Tools to help fix specific issues in the migration, such as fixing social share counts after move.

Tools for capturing other non-mixed content issues on pages such as Javascript errors & more in terms of general site health.

Publish video guides to moving sites to HTTPS.

Interactive guides walking you through decisions you need to take such as selecting which type of certificate to use?
