Why Your Website Needs an SSL Certificate in 2025

When you look at the top of your browser, you will see most web addresses start with https:// and the website URL. The “S” stands for secure. 

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates confirm your web address is secure, showing your website visitors that your website is a safe place where they can enter their sensitive information, such as their email address or credit card information.

In the past, this was only essential for websites that needed credit card numbers for purchases, but Google has since announced that secure websites will be prioritised when it comes to ranking. This includes non-ecommerce websites.

To understand this, you will have noticed when you arrive on a site without a SSL certificate, Google Chrome actually warns you the site is not secure. This makes a website appear unreliable.

At the same time, research has shown that the cost of global cyber-crime is on the rise and should amount to approximately ten trillion by the end of 2025. This means that having your website encrypted and protected is essential. HTTPS has become normal practice, with users now deterred by sites that don't offer this layer of protection.
