Compare EV SSLsSecure Sockets Layer (SSL) is used to secure and encrypt your data transmitted over the internet. This could be the password you used to log into GMail or your credit card information when you are purchasing something. Basically any important information you wouldn’t want others to know. With an SSL certificate, any information that is transmitted becomes encrypted making it unreadable to everyone except the intended server. This makes it much harder for hackers to hijack your information. Starting back in 2017 most browsers started listing websites without SSL as insecure.
Aside from that, HTTPS2 is a much faster protocol than the old HTTP/HTTPS protocols, this means installing an SSL Certificate can actually increase your website speeds.
