HubSpot’s guide to SSL
SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. It helps website owners facilitate offer a private browsing facility to the visitors.
To help webmasters deal with SSL in an effective manner, HubSpot has published a beginner’s guide to SSL.
Jefferey Vocell says, “Google is getting ready to release a new version of their popular Chrome browser, version 62, which will begin to indicate that a page is not secure if it contains a form, but does not have SSL-enabled. Chrome has approximately 47% browser market share, so when this update is rolled-out a significant number of websites will be affected almost immediately.
According to recent HubSpot Research, up to 85% of people will not continue browsing if a site is not secure. In January 2017, Google rolled out a similar update that only applied to sites collecting sensative information such as passwords or credit card numbers. With that in mind, users are now familiar with seeing this “not secure” warning, and per the research below will often leave a site because of it”.
