Free SSL for EasyWP customers

Thanks to the rise of cyber threats, people are looking for signs that your website is secure from the moment they land. A recent Globalsign survey even revealed that 9 out of 10 users are more likely to trust a website if it displays security indicators, such as a padlock. And that’s what you get with our free SSL Certificate.

EasyWP Turbo and Supersonic now includes a free Sectigo SSL Certificate for the lifetime of the plan. This is a big step up from our previous SSL offering, and a step up for our industry.

SSL encrypts the connection between your website and its user’s browser. The added security layers prevent data breaches for websites large and small and protect user privacy. What’s more, it shows your visitors you take their security seriously right from the URL.

Factor in our improved interface for installing and managing SSL Certificates, and you’ve got next-level security, free and simple.

SSL Security Helps Your Visitors Trust You

SSL is an important tool for building trust in your visitors and increasing sales. When a website is secured with SSL, the URL is prefixed with HTTPS (the extra S stands for secure) instead of HTTP. A padlock will also display in your visitor’s address bar so people know your site is safe. 

SSL isn’t just important for security. In 2014 Google indicated that https is a ranking signal, and a website using SSL would receive a small search benefit. A year later, Google announced that HTTPS may break the tie between two equal search engine results. If your website is equal to your competitor’s website in terms of content, speed, etc, displaying HTTPS could make sure you rank higher. So, if you want to stay competitive in web searches, SSL is a must for your website.
