Frequently Asked Questions
Why is SSL important for SEO?
SSL certificates are a confirmed ranking factor for Google. HTTPS sites are favored in search results, and browsers display security warnings for non-HTTPS sites, which can hurt user experience.
What does the SSL grade mean?
The SSL grade (A-F) indicates the overall security strength of your SSL configuration. Grade A is excellent, while lower grades indicate potential security vulnerabilities that should be addressed.
How often should I check my SSL certificate?
Check your SSL certificate at least monthly, and set up monitoring alerts for expiration dates. Most certificates are valid for 1-2 years, but some automated certificates renew every 90 days.
What should I do if my SSL certificate is expired?
Contact your hosting provider or SSL certificate authority immediately to renew the certificate. An expired certificate will cause browser warnings and can severely impact your website traffic.
