Have you ever wondered why some website addresses start with "http//" and some website addresses start with "https://"? The letter "s" at the end is used as an abbreviation for the word safe, which means security. Indicates that the site visited is using a secure, encrypted connection and is protected by an SSL certificate. This security certificate is important for all websites, not just e-commerce sites.
You found a domain name for your website, you bought it. You offer your services and sell your products. However, some of your customers are asking questions about whether your website is safe. The SSL certificate is there to protect not only your credit card information, but all information about your customers. All information such as customers' credit card information, e-mail, telephone, address, name and surname are secured with an SSL certificate.
Google started rolling out Chrome 68 since 2019. From this time on, Google's browser gives a "Not Secure" warning in the address bar for all websites that are not protected by HTTPS. In addition, Google carries websites with SSL certificates to the top as they provide a more secure environment to users.
How can you tell if a site has an SSL certificate?
The easiest way to tell if the site has an SSL certificate is to look at the address bar in your browser:
If the URL starts with HTTPS instead of HTTP, it indicates that the site has been secured with an SSL certificate.
Secure sites display a closed padlock icon. You can see the security details by clicking this icon. The green padlock is shown in the address bar for the most trusted sites.
Browsers also show various warning signs when the connection is not secure. These include signs such as a red padlock, an open padlock, a line drawn over the website address, or a warning triangle above the padlock icon.
