The use of SSL certificates for communication encryption has become a hot topic. Not only large companies, but also many small and medium-sized enterprises and social media companies have clearly recognized the threats to network security. Nowadays, whether it is an enterprise portal, an e-commerce website, or a bank, the security of website data has become a problem that must be solved. Because any enterprise hopes that customers can trust and choose them, minor negligence in network security may also cause significant losses to the enterprise.
Therefore, not only WordPress websites need to install SSL certificates, but also the Anxin certificate believes that any website needs to be aware of protecting website data security.
Users need to register personal privacy information, including name, gender, age, home address, telephone number, and even important information such as bank card account number and password, when registering an account on the website and purchasing products.
In this case, when the data interacts between the user's PC, mobile terminal and website, the data content is in a completely open plain text format, and any third party may intercept the plain text format.
Obviously, this is very dangerous. How can we solve this problem? Use SSL certificates to upgrade the communication protocol of the website from HTTP to HTTPS. HTTPS encrypts the communication data before transmission. No third party can obtain the original content of the data.
Benefits of installing SSL certificate on WordPress website:
We already know that WordPress websites that have deployed SSL certificates can achieve identity authentication and data encryption, but SSL certificates are more than that. Since Google, Firefox and other browsers will give security warnings to HTTP websites, customers can see the insecure logo of websites when visiting HTTP websites, and websites with SSL certificates will be considered safe and trusted by browsers.
In addition, Google and Baidu both announced that those websites that have enabled SSL will be prioritized by search engines and get higher search rankings, which means your website will be known and visited by more customers.
If the website is recognized by major browsers, then visitors will trust the website, browse the website safely and buy products, and the brand image and customer trust of the website will be greatly improved.
