Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
SSL Certificates establish secure connection on a wesbite and boost its rankings in Google. SSL does this by establishing an encrypted link between your web server and the visitor’s web browser, ensuring that all data passing between the website and the browser is private and confidential. You can tell a website is secure by the padlock displayed in the domain name, or the word ‘secure’ displayed next to it.
When a connection is unsecured, third parties can spy on any traffic passing between the visitor’s browser and the web server. This can be a huge issue if you are passing sensitive information such as credit card details.
Why Do I Need an SSL Certificate?
Many search engines are now pushing for sites to have secure HTTPs connections for all traffic. Up until 2014 only ecommerce stores had to worry about having a SSL lock, however this all changed when Google announced that SSL locks would now be a ranking factor. Sites that have a SSL lock now get a ranking boost in search engines, meaning sites with an SSL are automatically ranked higher than those without one.
From 2017 Google marks HTTP pages that collect logins and password details as insecure, including your WordPress site if you aren’t using HTTPS. Google eventually plans to expand this to include all HTTP sites.
How Much Does an SSL Certificate Cost?
At our website design company in Sussex we offer free SSL locks as part of our standard web hosting package for £200 a year or £18 a month. The benefits of this SSL lock are worth your while as they increase customer trust in your site, verify your ownership of the website, and help keep your users data safe. SSL locks also play an integral part in the security of your site as sites with an SSL lock are less likely to get hacked, making them an integral part of any website.
