What is SSL?
SSL is an acronym for “Secure Sockets Layer”, an encryption technology developed for one purpose – securing the communication between your website and a customer’s web browser.
You can identify a website with SSL in two ways:
There is a padlock icon and/or the website says “Secure” on the browser The website has a prefix of “https” in the site’s URL (if it is not secure, it will say “HTTP”).
Most importantly, Google will display an SSL website as “SECURE” in the search results. Without SSL, your website will say “NOT SECURE” and will deter visitors coming to your site. You may receive an error message to prevent traffic proceeding to your site such as the following:
