Why Choose Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificates?
In safeguarding your website, there are various strategies, and one effective approach is enabling an SSL certificate. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) enhances security by encrypting the data transmitted between your browser and the server.
Prominent web browsers like Chrome and Firefox notify users when they're on an insecure website. Incorporating an SSL certificate can instill trust in your visitors and enhance your site's credibility.
