SSL certificate

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)certificate provides a secure connection between the user's computer and the website server. When your website is protected with SSL, your visitors see a padlock icon in the address bar.
Cybercriminals cannot intercept the data that visitors enter in forms on a secure site, as they are transmitted in encrypted form.
An SSL certificate is generally needed when:
  • You plan to advertise your business on the internet.
  • You wish to rank higher in search engine results pages.
  • Your site is set up to accept payments.
Internet users trust secure sites much more, so we recommend against disabling the SSL certificate on your domain.

Disabling an SSL certificate

Once you've added a domain to your site, the SSL certificate will be enabled automatically within 1 day.
When the SSL certificate is activate, the link to your site will be displayed with the HTTPS protocol in the address bar.
To check that the SSL certificate of a website is enabled, go to the Settings -> Domains. The SSL certificate toggle should be turned on.
