If you’ve ever visited a website that began with “https://” instead of “http://“, you may have noticed a slight difference in how the website looks. For starters, there’s usually a padlock icon next to the address bar. This is because the website is using a protocol called SSL, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
SSL is used to encrypt data that are sent between your computer and the website you’re visiting. This means that if someone were to intercept the data, they wouldn’t be able to read it.
If you’re wondering why your Wix site says “Not Secure,” it’s likely because you don’t have an SSL certificate. SSL certificates are used to create a secure connection between your website and visitors’ browsers.
Without one, your site will continue to say “Not Secure” in the address bar.
So why is having an SSL certificate important? For one thing, it can help increase your site’s security. It also can help build trust with your visitors by showing them that you’re taking their privacy seriously.
And in some cases, having an SSL certificate can also give you a ranking boost in search engines.
If you’re looking to add an SSL certificate to your Wix site, we recommend using our partner, Symantec. They’re one of the most trusted names in online security and their certificates are compatible with all Wix plans.
To ensure that your website is secure, you should enable HTTPS on your site. You can do this by going to the Settings tab in your Wix account, and selecting “Enable HTTPS”.
Conclusion:
Adding an SSL Certificate from Symantec is important because it will increase security for both users and businesses alike. In addition, this will also build trust between users and businesses as well as provide a better ranking in search engines.
