Why Does Your Website Need an SSL Certificate?

Browsers mark HTTP sites as "Not Secure". SSL gives you the padlock, encrypts data, and boosts your Google ranking.

Encrypt Data

Protect sensitive data between your server and visitors' browsers — passwords, payments, and personal info.

Build Trust

The padlock icon signals to visitors your site is safe and legitimate, reducing bounce rates.

Boost Google Ranking

Google's algorithm favours HTTPS websites. An SSL certificate directly helps your SEO.

Enable Payments

PCI DSS compliance requires SSL. You cannot accept card payments on a site without an active certificate.
