Browsers warn visitors away from unsecured sites. Here is what free SSL does for trust, security, and rankings.
That small padlock in the address bar does more work than most site owners realize. SSL encrypts everything between your visitors and your server — logins, checkout details, contact forms — and browsers now warn visitors away from sites that lack it.
Search engines agree: HTTPS is a ranking signal, so an unsecured site starts every race a step behind. The good news is that certificates no longer need to be a yearly expense or a manual chore. Every Tidewell plan includes unlimited free SSL with automatic renewal, installed in one click.
If your site is still on plain HTTP, switching takes minutes and costs nothing. Your visitors, and Google, will notice the difference.
