If you want to build a professional website without any technical knowledge, the website builder of Site.eu is a great option. But there's one important aspect you shouldn't forget: SSL.
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It ensures that the connection between your website and visitors is secure and encrypted. In this article, we'll explain what SSL is, why it's important, how to check if your website is already secured with SSL, and how to activate SSL for your website built with the website builder of Site.eu.
Explaining SSL and why it's important
SSL is important because it protects users' personal information, such as passwords, payment details, and other sensitive information. It's especially important for websites that require users to enter personal information, such as e-commerce websites. In addition, a website without an SSL certificate is marked as insecure in many browsers, which can make visitors leave your website. By enabling SSL, you show that you take your users' privacy and security seriously and you build trust with your visitors.
How to check if an SSL certificate is already installed on your website
You can easily check if an SSL certificate is already installed on your website by looking at the address bar of your web browser. If your website is secured with SSL, you'll see a padlock icon and "https" in the address bar.
Activating SSL for your website
Activating SSL for your website built with the website builder of Site.eu is a simple and automatic process. After you publish your website, Site.eu will automatically install an SSL certificate for it. So, all you have to do is publish your website and wait for the SSL certificate to be activated. No additional steps are required!
