SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a security feature that is used to protect users of your website. It ensures that any data submitted by a user to your website is encrypted while being sent to your website server. An SSL certificate tells both the user and the browsers that your website is protected. You would have noticed that some websites have a ‘padlock’ icon in the address bar to indicate they have an active SSL certificate.

First and foremost, SSL protects your website visitors. This is our number one priority and we are sure it is yours too. There are some other benefits though, such as the extra trust a user has in a secure website and a boost in your search engine rankings as Google has indicated this is now a ranking signal in their algorithms.
