SSL Certificate
Is your website labeled as Unsecure?

From July 2018, Google began marking websites without https (i.e. no SSL certificate) as “Not secure” or “Not secure”. Visitors to your website will then receive this message if you do not have it in place, and most likely then leave the site since they receive such a clear message that it is not secure.
Google will also rank sites without an SSL certificate lower on the search results page, affecting your traffic and revenue at the same time.
An SSL certificate web page will either be marked with a gray or green padlock depending on the quality of the SSL certificate. The SSL certificate which provides the green padlock is of the type called EV, and will make both the website and the company appear more credible. Visitors will find that they are on a secure basis, in addition to making your website even more secure as all communication between the website and visitors is encrypted.
It’s easy for you to check if you have this in place. Go to your website and check the address bar on the far left to see if it says “Not sure” there. If it says “Not secure”, “Not secure” or there is a red line there, then this means that the website does not have this certificate in place.
If this is not in place then this indicates that the web agency or web host you are using is not taking security seriously. Contact us and we can easily help you get this in place.
Why SSL Certificate Is Necessary
Encrypt sensitive information
Protects customers data from hackers – their passwords, credit card details or other sensitive data.
Offers authentication
Ensures that visitors send information to your servers, not distractors trying to steal information.
Builds trust
Visitors will trust your site more when they see visual cues like a lock icon or a green color. This increases the chance that visitors will stay on your site and become customers.
