Hi,

The SSL certificate protects your data from hаckers.
It will show your website trust flow to the visitors.
Google consider one of the ranking factors to SSL certificates.

On a computer network, and especially on the Internet, communication and the data that circulates are vulnerable. Traditionally, the exchange of data between the machines of a network is done through the protocol "  http  ". The disadvantage of this protocol is that it is not secure, as it is highly vulnerable to attack by malicious individuals or organizations that can access and steal information that is sometimes confidential. An SSL certificate , an acronym for Secure Socket Layer, is a system for creating a secure channel between two networked machineswhether they are on an internal network, or on the Internet. This certificate is a data file that attaches a cryptographic key to the information that is transmitted. In a simple way, it is a system that allows to encode and encrypt information when it is sent, so that it is not readable and accessible directly by anyone. Thus, thanks to the SSL certificate , it is guaranteed that the data exchanged between a computer and the server to which it wants to access can not easily be diverted by a third person or malicious organization.

SSL is a Security Sockets Layer. If the website has SSL Certificate installed then it will open up with https in the starting that means your website is secured. Benefit of SSL is that no one will hаck your website & your information is remain only between you & your computer

According to SEO. Google will rank the website higher which having SSL certification in comparison of non secure websites.

SSL stands for secure sockets layer. It provides encrypted connection between browser and server. It's meaing is also same in SEO but it is counted as one of the factors to boost search engine rankings of the website/webpage

SSL is Secure Socket Layer. If your website is having SSL certificate from your hosting or any company which provides this certificate than your website URL will have HTTPs version instead of HTTP

SSL is used for secure transaction. Whenever there is a online transaction happening on your website HTTPS provides the encryption to the card details and send it to the server where it is decrypted.

3 things have to be remembered here

1. Google wants all the Internet to be run on HTTPs. So if your website is having a HTTPS version than definitely you will get a plus point from Google
2. There are many companies who provide this SSL certificate but only some of them very reliable like Lets Encrypt. Other small companies which provides this certificate generally gives the warning on the browser that the information may be stolen by attackers. So rethink before taking SSL certificate. Try to take it from established company like Lets Encrypt
3. If there is any link pointing to HTTP on your webpage, than your website will still give insecure warning and you may look untrustworthy.
