How Do I Know if My WordPress Site Has a SSL Certificate?

SSL Certificates: What You Need to Know
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates encrypt data as it travels between your website and browsers. This helps to ensure that your visitors’ personal information (credit card numbers, passwords, etc.

) is not intercepted by third parties.

To ensure the security of your website, it is important to have an SSL certificate. However, not all WordPress sites are automatically configured to use SSL. To check whether your WordPress site has an SSL certificate, follow these steps:

1. Open your website in a browser.

2. Click on the “Inspect Element” button in the upper-right corner of the window.

3. In the “Inspect Element” window, under the “Source” heading, click on the “SSL” tab.

4. If your website has an SSL certificate, the “Secure Sockets Layer” certificate will be displayed.

You will also see a green lock next to the certificate.

5. If your website does not have an SSL certificate, the “Secure Sockets Layer” certificate will be displayed but the lock will be red.
