Why Is My Wix Site Not Secure?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:57 am

If you’re wondering why your Wix site is not secure, there are a few possible explanations. First, your site may not be using SSL encryption.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that encrypts communication between a website and its visitors. Without SSL, anyone can intercept and read the data being exchanged between your site and its visitors, including sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers. To ensure that your site is secure, you need to enable SSL encryption.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

PRO TIP: Your Wix site may not be secure for a number of reasons. The most common reason is that your site is not using a secure (https) connection. This means that any information transmitted between your site and visitors’ browsers is not encrypted and could be intercepted by third parties. Other potential reasons for your site’s insecurity include outdated software, weak passwords, and insecure hosting.

SSL encryption is available on all Wix plans, but it’s not enabled by default. To enable it, go to your site’s dashboard and click on the “Security” tab. Then, scroll down to the “SSL Certificate” section and click on the “Enable” button.

If your site is using SSL encryption but you’re still seeing the “Not Secure” warning in your browser, it’s possible that some of the images or other resources on your site are not being loaded over https. To fix this, make sure that all of the URLs for resources on your site (including image URLs) start with https://. You can do this by going to the Settings tab in your dashboard and clicking on the “Change Protocol” button.

If you’ve tried both of these solutions and your Wix site still isn’t secure, please contact Wix support for further assistance.
