No SSL Certificate Installed

Your site doesn’t use HTTPS, exposing data and hurting SEO trust signals.

No SSL Certificate Installed

Key Points: Visitors see “Not Secure” warnings and your login data transmits in plain text.

Your site still uses HTTP? In 2025, that’s like sending credit card info via postcard. Users bounce, browsers warn, and Google downranks insecure domains.

🔓 Risks

  • Login and form data transmitted in cleartext
  • Vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks
  • Loss of user trust and SEO points

🛠️ Solution

  1. Get a free SSL via Let’s Encrypt (available on most hosts)
  2. Use Really Simple SSL plugin to configure redirects and mixed content
  3. Update wp-config.php to enforce HTTPS
  4. Set HTTPS versions in Search Console and analytics tools

📌 Bonus

SSL isn’t just for e-commerce anymore. Every site — even your blog about raccoons — needs it.
