How to Keep WordPress Secure – Using an SSL

Using an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate is one smart move to secure your WordPress admin panel. SSL ensures secure data transfer between user browsers and the server, making it difficult for hackers to breach the connection or spoof your info.

Getting an SSL certificate for your WordPress website is simple. You can purchase one from us, or use a third-party company or check to see if your hosting company provides one for free – we do!

We use the Let’s Encrypts’ free open source SSL certificate on most of our websites.

The SSL certificate also affects your website’s Google rankings. Google tends to ranks sites with SSL higher than those without it. That means more traffic. Now who doesn’t want that?

If we can help securing your WordPress website, or Managing your website hosting (and installing a much needed SSL Certificate for you!) get in touch today!
