🧊 First Things First: What Is SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the data between your website and its visitors.
It’s that little padlock icon in the address bar.
It changes your URL from: http://yourwebsite.com ➡️ https://yourwebsite.com
The “S” stands for secure — and that’s the key.
🛡️ Why SSL Actually Matters
Without SSL:
Data can be intercepted
Users see “Not Secure” warnings
You look… kinda sketchy
With SSL:
Info like passwords, credit card details, and contact forms are protected
Trust skyrockets
Your Google ranking gets a boost 🚀
💡 Even if you’re not selling anything, SSL is essential.
📉 No SSL? Prepare to Lose Visitors
Modern browsers warn users if your site isn’t secure. That’s a bounce waiting to happen.
SSL isn’t just a bonus anymore — it’s the bare minimum.
