Make sure your page is SSL certified

An SSL certificate is a safety measure that can be implemented on your website, which protects the data sent by visitors to your page, against anybody trying to intercept it. It does this by encrypting your data, so it won't be readable by anybody trying to access.

Meanwhile the intended recipient's browser has a key, that can remove the encryption from the data. That way your website and your visitors can communicate with each other safely, without worrying about anybody else seeing what is being sent.

When ranking pages Google look at many different factors. One of the things Google looks at is the user experience when visiting a site, here the websites safety is one of the factors, that can affect how it ranks.

If your website has implemented SSL, it sends a clear message to Google, that you prioritize the safety of your users data. Because of this implementing SSL on your website can help you improve your SEO. If you aren't sure about whether or not your website has an SSL certificate you can check it with Morningscore's SSL checker

Pages without an SSL certificate has the prefix "HTTP" before the address of their URL, whereas pages with an SSL certificate has the prefix "HTTPS" instead, (you can see the prefix by double clicking on the address bar).

When your site gets an SSL certificate its important that you remember to change the links leading to your site, so they include the new prefix "HTTPS" instead of the old one "HTTP". This can however be hard do as keeping track of all your links leading to your pages is easier said than done.

That's why Morningscore's SSL checker can help you by telling you which webpages include links that lead to the "HTTP" version of your pages.

Morningscore's SSL checker can scan your website in order to detect whether or not it has an SSL certificate.

Another feature of the SSL checker is detecting and finding pages without SSL redirects. This mean pages that links to the old HTTP version of the page, from before the SSL certificate was implemented on the website.

Users will be able to figure out if your website has an SSL tag in different ways, but there are two different methods, that are the most common

One of them is by looking for a lock ion at the left side of the address bar while on your page, if there is a lock icon the page has an SSL certificate. Sometimes the icon might not be a lock, but clicking on it will still reveal whether or not the site has an SSL certificate.

Another method is by double clicking on the address bar, which reveals the entire URL of the page. If the URL has the prefix "HTTPS" instead of the prefix "HTTP", then it means that the page has an SSL certificate.

You will be able to register multiple different websites on Morningscore, which you can then use the tool on, including the SSL checker. You can do this by clicking on the button showing your websites URL in the top left corner of Morningscore. When you have clicked this button you can enter the URL of the website you want to use Morningscore on.
