Some Terms Used in Websites Design and Management
SSL Certificate
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and, in short, it’s the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred, including potential personal details. It adds this little padlock icon to your website link, showing that the website is secured.
Without the padlock icon, any information, (e.g., Card Details) entered into the website can be hijacked by hackers.
CMS
