Because this thread is old, pick a supported platform first: Magento 1 reached end‑of‑life on June 30, 2020, so start with Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce (or a maintained fork) and build a proper dev workflow (local environment, Composer, Git, staging). Plan hosting that meets Adobe Commerce system requirements (OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, Redis, Varnish, supported PHP and enough RAM). Magento 1 EOL announcement • Adobe Commerce system requirements. (community.magento.com)

SEO: use Magento’s built‑in tools (enable Web Server Rewrites, canonical tags, meta templates), generate XML sitemaps from Admin and submit them to Google Search Console, and add product structured data where appropriate. Prevent indexing of duplicate faceted pages (canonical or robots), prioritize mobile speed, and use a CDN + full‑page cache for better Core Web Vitals. Google Sitemaps & structured data guide. (developers.google.com)

Payments and TLS: prefer reputable gateways with official Marketplace modules (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen), use tokenized/hosted flows so the shop never stores raw card numbers, and run full sandbox tests before going live. PCI requires strong cryptography—do not use SSL or early TLS; enable TLS 1.2+ and serve the entire site over HTTPS with a valid certificate (Let’s Encrypt or CA). PayPal Checkout docs • PCI guidance on TLS. (developer.paypal.com)

Security checklist (launch minimum): enable 2FA for Admin and SSH, change the default admin path, enable reCAPTCHA and login lockouts, restrict Admin by IP/VPN, run Adobe’s Security Scan, apply core/extension patches promptly, enforce correct file permissions, use a WAF/CDN, keep automated backups and a staging test cycle, and validate performance (Varnish/Redis) in staging. This echoes points from , and —plan hosting for Magento’s needs, use official payment connectors, and prioritise security scans before launch. Adobe Commerce security best practices.

Magento is resource hog,
Solution for 1.
so it actually contains a lots of info about seo. you can easily optimize magento according to search engine.

solution for 3.
yep, you should buy ssl while hosting your domain on Hosting Provider. he will enable ssl and will charge $10 -$30/ year(depends according to service provider)
