What is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL certificate is called the Secure Sockets Layer certificate. It is a certificate that ensures the transferred date between the user’s browser and the website is safe and secure. The connection is encrypted, and third parties find it hard to alter sensitive information like login credentials, personal data, and more.

Websites need to have an SSL certificate to establish the trust and credibility of their business. This can be displayed by displaying HTTPS in the browser’s address bar. The certificate also contributes to ranking the website better.
