Google Chrome is rolling out an update that could significantly impact how your website is perceived online. This update places greater emphasis on security, specifically regarding SSL certificates and HTTPS protocol.<\/p>\n
If your website already has an SSL certificate and uses HTTPS, you can breathe easy\u2014you\u2019re all set for this update. However, if your site hasn\u2019t made this transition yet, it\u2019s time to take action. With Chrome being one of the leading browsers globally, ensuring compliance with its standards is crucial.<\/p>\n
For clients of HostingInIndia who don\u2019t yet have an SSL certificate, there\u2019s no need to worry. Starting this July, HostingInIndia will provide a free SSL certificate to meet Google Chrome\u2019s new requirements. Visit our Knowledge Base to learn how to leverage this offer effectively.<\/p>\n
The new HTTPS warning is part of Google\u2019s ongoing efforts to enhance online security. Google aims to offer its users a safe browsing experience, which in turn encourages them to use its services more frequently. A secure site translates to a better user experience and can lead to improved search rankings. Since 2014, Google has favored secure sites in search results, meaning websites with HTTPS connections may see a boost in their search positions.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve probably noticed a padlock icon next to the URL in the browser’s address bar, indicating a secure connection. This icon reassures users that a site can be trusted with their data. For eCommerce sites, a secure link is essential. However, many non-eCommerce sites have been slow to adopt HTTPS. The latest Chrome update is a push for all site owners to embrace this standard.<\/p>\n
Failing to install an SSL certificate by the time the Chrome update rolls out will result in your site being labeled as \u201cnot secure\u201d when accessed through Chrome. While this may not seem significant, imagine visiting a new website only to be greeted by a warning that it isn\u2019t secure. Such a warning is likely to drive visitors away, affecting both new visitors and the trust of your existing audience.<\/p>\n
To avoid these warnings, ensure your site is equipped with an SSL certificate before the update takes effect. HostingInIndia is here to help by providing all its clients with a complimentary SSL certificate. This fully functional digital certificate is trusted by 99.9% of browsers and devices. By obtaining this certificate, you\u2019ll prevent \u201cnot secure\u201d warnings from appearing to your visitors.<\/p>\n
