SSL Certificates: Increase User Trust
SSL and website security is now a recommendation for websites and your online marketing. Google has put in motion the beginning of penalising websites that do not utilise SSL security. In short, Google is requiring websites to utilise SSL security technology that makes the website secure by displaying a padlock in the www. address area (URL bar) and inserting a ‘s’ into ‘https’.
A Partnership
If you visit a website without a SSL certificate the communication between your website and a visitor is not encrypted. This means that your connection to that website can potentially be eaves-dropped on and modified, meaning any passwords or confidential information sent to the site could be stolen.
While this isn’t a big issue if you have a simple information website, if you have a website that deals with passwords or confidential information, this can be a big problem. There is a solution however – you encrypt the connection between the computer and the server, making the connection secure. To do this requires what is known as a SSL certificate.
