SSL, short for Secure Socket Layer, is a digital security protocol that provides a secure connection between the server hosting your website and the browser used by your visitors.
An SSL certificate should be added to a website to protect online transactions carried out on it and to ensure the privacy of your visitors. SSL keeps internet connections secure. If a website has an SSL certificate, it starts with the HTTPS abbreviation.
Why Is an SSL Certificate Important?
On a website where online transactions are performed, sending every request in encrypted form helps prevent that data from falling into the hands of third parties. A few examples of these requests are:
- Credit card transactions
- User login requests
- Form data on pages such as "Contact Us," "Contact," or "Get a Quote"
The security of every transaction, large or small, matters.
Google has stated that an SSL certificate is important for SEO (search engine optimization).
