How Do I Install SSL for Free on WordPress?

If you’re looking to add HTTPS encryption to your website, there are a few options available to you. You can either pay for a third-party SSL certificate, or you can install SSL encryption on your own using free tools.

To install SSL encryption on your WordPress site, you’ll first need to install a SSL certificate from a trusted source. There are a number of free options available, such as the Let’s Encrypt extension for WordPress or the Commercial SSL Certificates from Comodo.

Once you have your certificate installed, you’ll need to configure your WordPress site to use it. You can do this by setting up a new SSL certificate in your WordPress settings, or by adding the certificate’s URL to your site’s domain name.

Once you have your SSL certificate and domain configuration in place, you’ll can start encrypting your traffic with the help of the free SSL plugin available from WordPress.com.
