SSL or Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that authenticates, encrypts, and decrypts data sent on the World Wide Web.

When you use SSL on your websites, your data will be secured, there is the least possibility of data theft and unauthorized access to your website.

Search engines favor sites using SSL, therefore, the SEO value of your site will increase for the websites using SSL.

Since SSL protects data, visitors will trust the websites using SSL, therefore, you are likely to get more visitors to your website if you have used SSL.

If you are running a website, consider using SSL on your website if you haven’t already.

Some web hosting companies offer free SSL for a lifetime, whereas some web hosts offer free SSL for a limited time. If you do not have access to free SSL, consider investing some money in buying an SSL certificate. If you can’t pay for SSL, you can try free SSL from Lets Encrypt.
