An SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website’s identity and security levels. It indicates to users that any sensitive information they share with your website, like personal details or payment data, is encrypted and secure from any bad actors.
SSL certificates are vital for safeguarding user privacy and building trust. You can tell if a website has an SSL certificate or not by looking for the small padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. It’s commonplace now for almost every reputable website to have an SSL certificate.
