SSL Certificate
WHY A DOMAIN WITH SSL?
The SSL certificate is important for the security of a website’s visitors. That a website has this certificate is shown in the browser’s address bar through a visible lock.
It makes it clear that the exchange of information, for example relating to banking, takes place in a secure manner.
The data is first encrypted and then converted back into usable information for the party receiving it. Hackers cannot read this information because of the encryption.
SSL certificate and SEO
The SSL certificate is becoming increasingly more important for Search Engine Optimisation.
Google sees this SSL-certificate as a ranking factor. So, one of the reasons why you appear higher or lower in the search results, is because of this certificate.
Adding this certificate to your website is a positive change for your website’s SEO.
HOW DO YOU RECOGNISE
AN SSL CERTIFICATE ON THE WEBSITE
You can see that a website has an SSL certificate in two ways, both visible in the address bar of the web page.
You can see the certificate in the form of a padlock that appears right before the web address.
Also, the address of the website changes from starting with http:// to https://.
