SSL Certificates

SSL certificates encrypt the data transmitted between your users and your server, ensuring a secure “HTTPS” connection.

Before You Begin

• A domain name successfully pointed to your Websitely instance.

Enabling SSL

1. Sign in to your Websitely Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Site Settings > Security or SSL.
3. Click Enable SSL.
4. Our system will automatically provision and install a free Let’s Encrypt certificate for your domain.

Best Practices

• Enable “Force HTTPS” in your settings to ensure all traffic is encrypted.
• Renew your certificates automatically; most modern systems, including Websitely, handle this for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SSL required for my website?

Yes. Modern browsers mark non-HTTPS sites as “Not Secure,” which impacts user trust and SEO rankings.
