Learn the basics of SSL certificates and why they are a vital website-building asset.
SSL stands for secure sockets layer. An SSL certificate is a digital file that verifies ownership of a website and encrypts communications between the site and the server. An SSL certificate protects users’ personal information, such as credit card information, login details, and more.
Knowing when a site has an SSL certificate is easy. Sites with SSL encryption will generally have a padlock symbol next to their name on your browser’s address bar or a URL starting with “HTTPS.” Sites with “HTTP”-only URLs don’t have an SSL certificate, and are automatically blocked by many browsers
With HubSpot, there is no technical setup or additional steps for the implementation of an SSL certificate. Simply build your website with HubSpot and a standard SSL certificate will be built in automatically.
Search engines like Google use security as a ranking factor within their results. By enabling SSL on your site, you’ll signal to search engines that you’ve created a secure and encrypted connection between your website and your site visitors.
The main reasons for having an SSL certificate include protecting your site from costly attacks and helping prevent user data breaches. However, one often overlooked reason for having SSL encryption includes improved performance. Some search engines, browsers, and devices will ignore or block sites without SSL certificates (and the corresponding HTTPS protocol). Building a website without an SSL certificate could cost you hundreds or thousands of clicks and conversions per month.
