SSL Encryption Requirement Announced by Google

Google has made HTTPS encryption an official ranking factor and marks websites without SSL certificates as 'Not Secure' in Chrome and major browsers.

Protecting Customer Data

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the communication channel between a user's browser and your web server, protecting login credentials, contact form submissions, and credit card numbers from interception.

SEO and Brand Credibility

Websites running on secure HTTPS gain ranking preference over unencrypted HTTP sites, and visitors are significantly more likely to complete purchases when they see the security padlock in the address bar.
