SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital document that safeguards your website by encrypting data transferred between your server and your visitors. This ensures that your sensitive information, like passwords and credit card numbers, remains secure.

SSL protects your data and boosts your website’s credibility. When your site has SSL, visitors see a padlock icon in their browser’s address bar, signaling that your site is safe to use.

An SSL Checker is a tool for ensuring your website's SSL certificate is correctly installed and trusted by browsers. It helps you verify that your SSL Certificate is properly configured, displaying essential details like the Common Name, server type, issuer, validity, and certificate chaining.
