SSL - What is it and should I have it on my website?
Understanding SSL Encryption
You can recognize an SSL-encrypted site by its website address, which starts with HTTPS instead of HTTP. SSL, which stands for Secure Socket Layer, creates a secure channel for data transmission between two machines over the internet. When your computer sends data to a server, SSL encrypts the data, making it unreadable if intercepted. Once the data reaches its destination, it is decrypted back into its original form.
Historically, SSL was primarily used for forms involving sensitive information, such as registration and login forms, as well as websites handling personal data and financial transactions. Recently, however, web browsers—particularly Google Chrome—have advocated for all websites to use SSL encryption to enhance overall internet security.
Although it's generally optional for website owners to implement SSL encryption (unless handling personal financial data), there are compelling reasons to do so. For example, browsers like Google Chrome warn users when they visit a site that is not SSL encrypted. This "Not Secure" warning can negatively impact visitors' perception of a website.
To ensure the highest level of security and trust, we now include SSL encryption as a standard feature in all new websites we design and build.

" I would just like to say thank you for making us a site which is receiving so much praise.
The Tortoise Table staff went to London Zoo this week.
Before leaving we gave the Reptile keepers the link to our website and on arriving home we discovered we had received 2 emails from them both telling us how excellent the site is and on showing it to other staff they had received positive comments. "
