SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a technology that encrypts the connection between a website and its visitors. This encryption keeps sensitive information safe from hackers.
How SSL Works
When someone visits a website with SSL, their browser creates a secure connection to the web server. Any data shared, such as passwords or credit card details, is encrypted and protected.

Why SSL is Important
- Data Protection: SSL encrypts sensitive information, making it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept it.
- Trust and Credibility: Websites with SSL show a padlock symbol in the browser bar. This tells visitors that the site is secure and trustworthy.
- SEO Benefits: Search engines, like Google, prioritize SSL-secured websites, which can help improve your search rankings.
- Better User Experience: Visitors feel more confident sharing information on secure websites.
