From domain verification to HTTPS

SSL Zen Premium is a WordPress extension edition for securing a website with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. It automates domain verification, certificate generation and server installation.

Domain verification comes first. After the domain is verified, SSL Zen Premium can generate the certificate and install it on the server. Once it is installed, the plugin can redirect visitors from HTTP to HTTPS. The free-version process described requires website owners to verify ownership by uploading a file, then upload and configure the certificate on the server; Premium automates those tasks.

Renew certificates as they expire

The Let’s Encrypt certificate described here has a 90-day validity period, so renewal is recurring. SSL Zen Premium automates certificate renewal.

Use HTTPS on pages with sensitive information

HTTPS is useful for pages with forms or payment processing. An SSL certificate helps protect sensitive data from eavesdroppers and offers authentication. For websites handling customer information, SSL can support trust and compliance needs. Browsers may label non-SSL sites as not secure, which can affect user confidence. SSL is also described as a search-engine ranking factor, so moving to HTTPS may support search visibility.
