Did you know that your customer prefers a site that is secured with an SSL certificate over a site that is not? Did you realize that your customers might not be buying from you because your site isn't safe? Read more if you want to learn how to install SSL On WordPress and get your site safe and secure!

SSL Certificate

To secure your site further for your customers safety as well as the nice green icon in the top of your address bar, you can install an SSL certificate license. These licenses used to cost a lot of money and had to be registered through your provider. As a matter of fact, you can still pay a lot of money for just one SSL certificate. SSL certificates are license based and have a recurring cost.

SSL Certificates are a way of telling, "this site is secure and all the data send between the visitor and the website is encrypted against hacking". With this type of encryption, customers are more willing to use their credit card on your site to order a product or feel generally more safe browsing your website.

I have to include that there is nowadays also a free SSL certificate. The free option was made by an organisation that felt that all sites should be able to be secure on the internet and it shouldn't cost anyone money. This system is called LetsEncrypt and works perfectly.

How To Install SSL On WordPress

Unfortunately though, whether you go for the free SSL certificate option or the premium system, the installation isn't all that simple usually. It requires some work on a very tech level on the web server itself.

It isn't as simple as installing a plugin on your WordPress site. Or is it?
