Comment (by webcommsat):

 Replying to [comment:23 sabernhardt]:
 I agree let's move this to 6.2.
 On your other points:
 1. Yes let's change the text to 'next to'

 3. A slight tweak of both of your text to:
 "Both of those things signal to visitors that your site meets some basic
 security requirements, which can build trust with your users and with
 search engines."

 @marybaum over to you to make this change in 2) and 1) and 3), and remove
 the space in the url (comment 21)?

 Thanks @sabernhardt and @marybaum .

 >
 > 1. The padlock is not always to the left of the address. Right-to-left
 language translators could correct that to the right, but "next to" would
 fit either language direction.
 > 2. Wrapping the URL examples and HTTP(S) protocols with `code` tags can
 help as well. The text string with protocols could use `sprintf` with
 placeholders. The URL example should be translatable (French has
 `exemple.fr`), so that might involve adding the `code` tags within the
 string.
 > 3. I don't like the "reach your objectives" phrase, mainly because
 building trust is a fundamental objective in itself (without visitors'
 trust, how can anyone sell, inform, persuade, etc.?). One simple option is
 to end the sentence at "search engines." Another option is to combine the
 first part of that sentence with the second part of the previous sentence:
 "Both of those things signal to visitors that your site meets some basic
 security requirements, which can build trust with your users and with the
 search engines."
