: After switch to https, traffic isn't showing in Analytics A client has been providing his website with http and https for a few years now and decided to switch to https-only a few months ago.

We had similar migration and we learned few things while we migrated:

Your question 1
We've now redirected all traffic from http to https and set the main page to https in the google analytics tool

1) Even if you switch your complete site from http to https the changes would not get reflected in a single day. It will take sometime may be a month for complete reflection of results in ranking.

2) So during this period you have to maintain both http and https on webmaster religiously.

3) Google analytics will show both in a single if you have created single property for both http and https.

4) Webmaster treat http and https as different properties. Hence you will get traffic on both for sometime, where http will decline and https will rise sharply.

Your question 2
The only thing coming to mind would be deleting the old property completely, but that would obviously delete all attached history as well.

So due to above stated reasons you should not delete the old property as it would be useful for you to get a insight on crawl pattern and help you identify which all urls are still indexed with http.
