An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is essential for any website that handles sensitive information. Here’s why it’s important:

  • Data Encryption: SSL encrypts the data exchanged between your website and visitors, ensuring it can’t be intercepted or stolen.
  • Trust and Credibility: Websites with SSL certificates display a padlock symbol in the URL bar, signaling to users that the site is secure. This builds trust with your visitors.
  • SEO Benefits: Google gives priority to websites with SSL certificates, so having one can improve your rankings on search engines.
  • Compliance: If your website handles payments, customer information, or any form of sensitive data, an SSL certificate is often required for compliance with data protection laws.
