HTTPS provides several key benefits:
- Encryption: It encrypts the data transmitted between the user's browser and the server, preventing eavesdropping and protecting sensitive information like login credentials, personal details, and payment information.
- Authentication: It verifies the identity of the website, assuring users that they are connecting to the legitimate site.
- Trust and Credibility: Browsers display visual indicators (like a padlock icon) for HTTPS websites, signaling to users that their connection is secure, which builds trust.
- SEO Benefits: Search engines like Google give a ranking boost to HTTPS websites.
