When you’ve got an SSL, you’re showing the world that your site’s legit and safe to visit. SSL certificates create a secure connection for customers to browse, shop and share their information (like credit card data and addresses) on your site.
Sites without them display a “Not Secure” warning in popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Safari when people visit — and 98%* of those people leave immediately after seeing that warning.
