SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates encrypt the connection between your website and visitors, ensuring safe data transmission.
Benefits of SSL:
- Protects sensitive information like passwords and payments
- Builds trust by showing the padlock symbol in browsers
- Improves SEO ranking (Google favors HTTPS websites)
- Required for e-commerce websites that handle customer data
Without SSL, visitors may see a “Not Secure” warning on your site, which can reduce trust and traffic. Installing SSL is a must for any professional website.
