Most website users are very careful and want to know that their information is safe. Utilizing an SSL certificate offers website users two important things:
- Encryption of sensitive data: Credit card numbers and personal information (name, address, username, password, etc.). This prevents data from being stolen.
- Some assurance to your users that your website is trustworthy. The process of getting an SSL certificate can't guarantee trustworthiness, but it can make it more likely.
These are very important benefits when it comes to website visitors trusting your website and company. Every website should have an SSL Certificate installed.
