SSL

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate verifies a website's identity and encrypts information users submit or receive on your website. That encryption prevents identity thieves and hackers from intercepting your customer's sensitive information by ensuring that only the intended recipient can understand it.

Without encryption, anyone can steal your users' personal information including their name, address, email, username, password, and more. If you collect payment information on your website, an SSL certificate is required under Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.

An Extended Validation SSL Certificate, known commonly as EV SSL, provides the highest level of authentication available to your website. Websites with EV SSL certificates stand out, because their company name and country are included beside the green padlock in the browser's address bar. This visual signal gives your users even more confidence in your brand's commitment to privacy and security.

EV SSL certificates utilize the same level of encryption as standard SSLs, but require your company to complete an identity verification process to prove that your business is legally registered and owns your website domain name.

1. Protect sensitive user information from identity thieves and hackers
An SSL certificate prevents hackers and identity thieves from intercepting the personal information your customers enter on your website including their name, address, email, phone number, username, password, etc. through data encryption.

2. Instantly establish trust with your customers and strengthen your brand identity
Savvy online consumers know to check that a website is secure before entering their personal information. Seeing low conversion rates on your website? A broken or missing SSL certificate could be the reason why.

3. Get more customers on your site by ranking higher on Google search results
In an effort to keep people safe online, Google favors websites with SSL certificates. Not only does Google Chrome highlight sites without properly configured SSL certificates as Not Secure, but it also ranks them lower in search results.
