Frequently asked questions
Do I really need an SSL certificate?＋
Yes. Browsers mark sites without SSL as not secure, which drives visitors away, and Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Any site collecting form data or payments must have one.
What does website security add on top of SSL?＋
SSL encrypts traffic. Website security adds malware scanning and removal, a web application firewall and a performance CDN, protecting the site itself rather than just the connection.
