SSL certificate
An SSL certificate (https) is essential for securing the communication between a website and its users. It encrypts transmitted data, protecting sensitive information from interception. Additionally, it authenticates the website’s identity, ensuring users they are interacting with the legitimate site. SSL certificates also improve search engine rankings, enhancing the website’s visibility and credibility.
