Security and reliability: trust starts with a lock
Visitors want to feel safe on your website. Especially when they leave personal information, make a purchase or get in touch. If your site looks unsafe, they will be gone in one click. And rightly so. Fortunately, you can easily eliminate these concerns – by properly securing your website.
Security starts with the familiar lock in the address bar: HTTPS. This means that the connection between your website and the visitor is encrypted, so that data cannot simply be intercepted. No HTTPS? Then browsers such as Chrome and Firefox immediately show a warning. Not exactly inviting.
But security goes beyond a certificate. You must protect your site against hackers, spam and malware. You do this by regularly updating your software, using strong passwords, and deploying security plugins or firewalls. Backups are also important – so that you can quickly restore your site if something does go wrong.
And the great thing is: a secure website is not only good for your visitors, but also for your findability. Google rewards secure websites with a better position in the search results. Win-win.
In this series we show you how to make your website more secure step by step. Without technical fuss, but with practical tips that you can apply immediately. This way you build trust, peace and continuity - and that is worth gold, online.
Do you want a website that your visitors and you can trust with confidence? Then this is the time to get started with security.
