What are the benefits of having an SSL Certificate on my website?
October 09, 2018
SSL Certificates inspire trust and show visitors that you value their privacy. An SSL Cert protects your customers‘ sensitive information such as their name, address, password, or credit card number by encrypting the data during transmission from their computer to your web server. SSL is the standard for web security, and a Server Certificate is required by most merchant account services – you‘ll need one if you plan to accept credit cards on your website.
The little green lock
The green lock in the browser bar and the "s" in https mean a site is secure in every language. Have both on your site to show your visitors you care that their data is safe. If you don’t have the little green lock from a trusted SSL certificate, Google Chrome will tag your site as Not Secure.
Better Google ranking
The world‘s #1 search engine favors HTTPS-encrypted websites and will push them higher in search results. So an SSL not only protects your customers but helps you find more of them.
