Advantages of a free SSL certificate
Better placement in search results
Websites that use a secure connection are preferred by Google and rewarded with a better ranking in search results.
Strengthens the trust and seriousness of your website
SSL encryption causes a lock icon to appear in the browser bar. For websites without SSL, a security warning is displayed instead that no “https://” is used. The free SSL certificate signals to the visitor that his information is safe and thus strengthens trust.
DSGVO compliant website
An SSL certificate is absolutely necessary for the secure transmission of personal data according to DSGVO.

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate installed on a web server to ensure the security and encryption of data transmission between the server and the user’s web browser.
It is needed to achieve the following goals:
- Encryption of data transmission: An SSL certificate enables the encryption of data transferred between the user and the server. This protects the data from potential attackers. This is especially important when transferring sensitive information such as passwords, credit card data and personal information.
- Trustworthiness: When a user visits a website secured with SSL, the browser displays a lock icon or a green address bar. This way, the visitor can be sure that he has not landed on a fake or malicious website.
- SEO benefits: Search engines like Google prefer websites with SSL encryption and take this into account as a ranking factor. This means that websites with SSL certificates rank better in search results.
- Data protection and GDPR compliance: SSL certificates are also important to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as they ensure the secure transmission of personal data.
Overall, SSL certificates are crucial to ensure data security on websites and increase user trust. They are standard on most websites today.
