What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate, more accurately a TLS certificate, helps browsers establish encrypted HTTPS connections with websites.
Does an SSL certificate improve SEO?
Google uses HTTPS as a lightweight ranking signal. An SSL certificate is useful for secure connections, but it does not guarantee higher search rankings.
Do I need a separate SSL certificate?
Not necessarily. Some hosting plans include managed SSL certificates. Check your existing hosting plan before purchasing another.
What is a wildcard SSL certificate?
A wildcard SSL certificate typically secures a base domain and eligible first-level subdomains. Check the exact product coverage before purchase.
Does SSL prevent website hacking?
No. SSL protects data in transit, but malware, vulnerable plugins, stolen passwords, and other threats require additional security measures.
