WordPress HTTPS
Beginning in July, 2018, Google Chrome, the world’s most popular web browser, will start marking ALL websites as insecure if they are not running under HTTPS. Is your site ready? Are your clients' sites ready?

As important as HTTPS is, the process of setting up an SSL certificate and making it work for a website can be confusing and frustrating. During this online training event, we'll provide a proven process for getting the green padlock and avoiding the “Not Secure” warnings.

Four Compelling Reasons to Move Your WordPress Website to HTTPS

Security

SSL protects your site data and visitors. It encrypts data transferred over the web, like form submissions and credit card transactions, which are crucial to online security.

If you are taking or processing any kind of payments on your website, SSL is non-negotiable. SSL is an absolute must for ecommerce and membership sites.
