                       SSL stands for "Secure Socket Layer" which increases the security between the user and Website. We everyday fill some online forms, order online product, money transaction and other things we do to send our information to the web servers. In order to protect the our information we need a secure connection.

                       That's what the SSL Certificate is all about. HTTPS connection, establishes an encrypted connection between a user and a website Server, so hackers do not get access to the information of user.

                       Every site specially e-commerce site have a unique SSL Certificate, this helps in identifying secure connection. If any site don't have or is pretending to have a secure SSL, HTTPS connection and its certificate does not match, and then Google's Chrome browsers will give you the following warning message:

               "Your connection to this site is not Secure
                        You should not enter sensitive information on this site like password, bank account... "

Having a secure connection gives a stronger message to the search engine that you are giving importance to your sites visitors and cares about their privacy & security.
                          This is the reason why every sites started to buy SSL certificate and making connection between their website server and user more secure.
