SSL Certificate is an online certificate that guarantees secure connections between the server and the user. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates allow the website to access and use HTTPS, which is more reliable than HTTP. When a website is SSL-certified, visitors are more likely to trust it and purchase through it. An SSL-certified website has a black padlock icon located on the left side of the URL.
