SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard security protocol for establishing an encrypted or secure connection between a server and a client. This ensures that all data transmission between a client and server remains confidential and highly secure.

In 2015, Google stated that their HTTPS ranking boost may serve as a tie breaker if the quality signals for two different search results are equal in everything else. Meaning, if your website is equal to your competitor’s website in terms of speed, title tags, content freshness, etc. but your competitor’s website is HTTPS and yours isn’t, Google will most likely rank theirs ahead of yours.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data − a public key is known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. Most Web browsers support SSL, and many websites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, including credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with HTTPS instead of HTTP.
