Introduction

What is VolcanoEngine Certificate Center

The relationship between SSL certificates and HTTPS

After installing an SSL certificate on a website, a secure HTTPS connection can be established between the client and the server. The server proves its identity to the client through the SSL certificate. At the same time, HTTPS ensures that data transmission between the client and the server is encrypted, thus ensuring data security and preventing eavesdropping or tampering.

Why do you need SSL certificates

SSL certificates bring the following benefits to websites:

Enhance brand image and strengthen customer trust.

When users visit a website without an installed SSL certificate, the browser immediately displays a "Not Secure" warning, which may result in potential customer loss. However, when you install an SSL certificate for your website, users will see a trusted lock icon in the browser's address bar when accessing your website. This icon indicates that your website is trustworthy.

Protect sensitive data.

Online payment services involve valuable sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, and bank card numbers. This sensitive data is a common target for hackers. HTTPS guarantees secure transmission of data between the client and the server, creating a secure and reliable online payment environment for users.

Improve website SEO ranking.

Search engines assign more weight to HTTPS websites, thereby improving the website's SEO ranking. If your website supports HTTPS, it will increase the exposure of your website and bring more potential users.
