The HTTPS comes as a very straightforward check. Your site is using HTTPS, or it is not. If your site is using it, then you have to pass the check. Besides that, it is very important to confirm that rel=”canonical” is set to the version of HTTPS on your domain. Lastly, you have to ensure that all non-HTTPS traffic has redirection to the HTTPS version of your URLs.

Mobile Friendliness, on the other hand, is referring to a list of specific issues which can cause a bad user experience on mobile. If you have built your bite with a very modern and highly responsive design, then it is very likely to meet all the mobile-friendly criteria.
