SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the communication between your website and its visitors, protecting sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, and personal data from unauthorized access. Beyond security, SSL builds trust with users by enabling a secure “https://” URL and displaying a padlock icon in the browser. It also contributes to better SEO rankings, as search engines prioritize secure websites.
For any online presence—especially e-commerce—SSL is essential for maintaining both security and credibility.
