SSL encrypts browser↔site traffic and browsers punish its absence (warnings, lower trust, no UPI checkout). Free certificates (Let's Encrypt) secure most sites; paid adds warranties and long validity for enterprises.
Key facts
- HTTPS required for payments, logins and SEO parity.
- Free auto-renewing certs suit 95% of SME sites.
- Mixed-content errors after install are the classic gotcha.
- HSTS + secure cookies complete the job.
