Why SSL Certificate is Important for Your Website
It is more important than ever to protect your website and the data of your visitors. One way to do this is to have an SSL certificate.
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is a security protocol that encrypts data sent between a web server and a web browser. This prevents hackers from being able to read or steal the data, such as credit card numbers, passwords, and other personal information.
There are many reasons why SSL certificates are important for your website. Here are a few of the most important ones:
Protects user data: When a website uses SSL, all the data that is transmitted between the user’s browser and the website is encrypted. This means that even if a hacker is able to intercept the data, they will not be able to read it. This is especially important for websites that collect or process sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or passwords.
Builds trust with users: When a website uses SSL, the address bar in the user’s browser will show a green padlock icon. This tells the user that the website is secure and that their data is safe. This can help build trust with users and encourage them to do business with your website.
Improves search engine ranking: Google and other search engines now give preference to websites that use SSL. This means that websites that use SSL are more likely to appear higher in search results. This can help you attract more visitors to your website.
This is why at Lumistellar we enforce the use of SSL certificates and ensure it is available to all websites we provide.
