SSL certificate
Tech stack
A digital certificate enabling HTTPS encryption between your website and visitors' browsers. SSL certificates authenticate your site's identity and encrypt data transfer, protecting sensitive information. They are required for browser features, expected by users, and a Google ranking factor. All Fernside sites include automatic SSL via Cloudflare—no manual certificate management, renewals, or additional cost.
