Why move to HTTPS? Google has plans to show the following “Not secure” alert in Chrome’s URL bar for all HTTP in the not too distant future. When it does happen you don’t want your visitors to see this on your website:
Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, which means you get SEO benefits from moving to HTTPS
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connections encrypt data passed between your visitors and your web server. This prevents potentially malicious third parties from doing any harm with your visitors information, because they can’t read the information when it is encrypted.
Having that sweet, sweet green lock in the URL bar for your site is pretty sweet.
Let’s Encrypt allows you to do it easily and for free, so there’s no more excuse not to.
1. Install SSL with Let’s Encrypt
What is Let’s Encrypt?
Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). It makes it possible to obtain browser-trusted certificates for your domains at no cost that renew automatically.
To install an SSL with Let’s Encrypt simply login to your cPanel
