Slimbot
HostingWhat is SSL?
An SSL certificate provides the secure padlock in the browser and encrypts traffic between your visitor and your site. Slimbot arranges and renews that certificate automatically, so your site is always shown as secure. This builds trust with visitors and is a must for findability.
How does it work?
- You connect your domain to Slimbot.
- The platform automatically requests a valid certificate and installs it.
- Your site switches to the secure https connection with the padlock.
- Just before it expires, Slimbot renews the certificate automatically.
Use cases
Webshop wanting to give visitors confidence on the checkout page.
Service provider with a contact form that must transmit data securely.
Customer portal where people log in and enter personal data.
Every business site that doesn't want to appear as 'not secure' in the browser.
Benefits
- Never again an expired certificate or a warning for visitors.
- Automatic renewal, so no annual action or risk of forgetting.
- More trust from visitors thanks to the visible padlock.
- Better for your findability, as search engines reward a secure site.
