Whilst SSL Certificates were once just something e-commerce sites would use, there’s now a new reason to buy an SSL for your you haven’t already heard, Google recently announced that they’ll finally be giving websites which use SSL Certificates (enabling HTTPS) a small boost in rankings.<\/p>\n

Whilst these will only have a small impact on rankings, it is thought that over time Google will offer a more substantial boost.<\/p>\n

A benefit is that the boost will be given in real-time, so you’ll reap the benefits right away, rather than having to wait for
\nOne key point to note is that to get the full benefit, you should enable ‘Always On’ HTTPS, to make sure that every page on your website automatically redirects to using HTTPS, even if the user requests the page in standard HTTP form.<\/p>\n
