Trust: Google chrome shows non-SSL sites as ‘insecure’, bringing a feel of insecurity in website visitors.

Authentic: HTTPS green padlock represents symbol of trust, authenticity and security.

Disclaimer WP Encryption uses SSLLabs API for SSL scan & detection. By using the plugin, you agree to terms & conditions of SSLLabs

Security is an important subject regarding SSL/TLS certificates, of course. It is obvious that your private key, stored on your web server, should never be accessible from the web. When the plugin created the keys directory for the first time, it will store a .htaccess file in this directory, denying all visitors. Always make sure yourself your keys aren’t accessible from the web! We are in no way responsible if your private keys go public. If this does happen, the easiest solution is to check folder permissions on your server and make sure public access is forbidden for root folders. Next, create a new certificate.
