What is SSL?
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, it is the standard tech for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguards any sensitive data that may be used on certain sites.
Should I have it on my website?
If your website has forms for even the most basic of information, sign up pages asking for email and name or a commerce website that sells various items, you will need an SSL certificate.
Why does my website need an SSL certificate if I do have any of the above on my website?
When having an SSL certificate, it protects the user and your webpage from hackers or third party users from collecting any personal information from the user.
Such as;
Passwords to client portals
Credit card or Debit card information
Email and name to send malware or spam to a customer from your website
Data from your website that may be confidential can be accessed without the right security presence on your webpages.
