SSL Certificate Checker

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate encrypts data transmitted between a user's browser and a website. It enables HTTPS (the padlock icon) and protects sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers from interception. Modern certificates use TLS (Transport Layer Security), the successor to SSL.

Google confirmed HTTPS as a ranking signal in 2014. Sites without HTTPS show a 'Not Secure' warning in Chrome, which increases bounce rates. HTTPS also enables HTTP/2 for faster page loads and is required for many modern browser APIs.

Security headers are HTTP response headers that add extra protection: HSTS forces HTTPS, CSP controls which resources load, X-Frame-Options prevents clickjacking, X-Content-Type-Options prevents MIME sniffing, and Referrer-Policy controls referrer information shared with other sites.
