If you have been using a website recently, chances are you may not have noticed the subtle padlock icon. That is an indication that your website is secure.
Why do I need one?
- SEO – It won’t guarantee first place on Google but it won’t hurt
- Security – If you desire potential customers to give you information
- Browsers don’t like websites without them – They will provide a warning to the user if the website is insecure
An SSL certificate is basically a browser procedure to ensure the website you’re using is a trusted source.
It basically uses two keys; private and public, to authenticate, secure and manage secure connections.
Websites are not secure automatically, which means any data is potentially at risk of being compromised.
In summary, if your website is a key part of your business, get one.
