SSL Certificate
What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL Certificate is an extra security service for your website that ensures all information your visitors enter on your site—such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details—is sent securely and encrypted to your database or billing system.
It’s an important addition to have on your website so that your visitors feel safe.
Especially if you run a web shop where your visitors in most cases always have to fill in personal and bank details.

SSL Certificates Explained
So essentially an SSL establishes is an encrypted link between your web server and your visitor’s web browser. This ensures that all data passed between the two remains private and secure.
Sure you have browsed the web and you have most likely seen that when you access certain pages, a pop-up window appears that says the site is not secure, stating “are you sure you want to visit this site?” Then you must press yes or no. It’s a common message that pops up if you do not have an SSL.
In the past, the only time that you needed to care about SSL was an eCommerce site but that all changed when Google announced that an SSL was going to be rolled out as a ranking factor.
So, sites that use SSL certificates will get a boost in the search rankings. It might not be a huge boost, but I think you’ll agree with us that any boost in search rankings is a good one.
But now Google has gone even further and will now mark “HTTP” pages that collect passwords or credit cards as non-secure.” That means your WordPress login page will be marked as non-secure if you’re not using HTTPS.
