How Do I Add a Free SSL Certificate to My WordPress Site?

Adding a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate to your WordPress site is a simple process that can help make your site more secure. To add a SSL certificate to your WordPress site, first login to your WordPress site and navigate to the “Settings” menu. In the “Settings” menu, click on the “Security” tab. On the “Security” tab, under the “SSL” header, select the “Add an SSL Certificate” button. On the “Add an SSL Certificate” window, select the “Browse” button and select the “Browse my computer for a certificate” option. Locate the certificate file that you downloaded from a trusted source and select it.

Click on the “Upload” button and select the “Save” button. After the certificate has been uploaded, click on the “Activate” button. The SSL certificate will now be enabled on your WordPress site. To verify that the certificate has been successfully added, open your browser and type in your WordPress site’s URL. If the SSL certificate is enabled, the browser will display a lock icon in the address bar.
