Why is the WordPress website not secure?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are finding Not Secure written on your web page URL then its because your wordpress website doesn\u2019t have an SSL certificate embedded in your backend. Having an HTTP or not secure environment discourages users to click on your websites and it also increases your website bounce rate. To avoid that we recommend you install an SSL certificate on your website so that it encourages visitors to explore your website and buy your products. Once you install an SSL certificate then your website will start indicating HTTPS in your web page URL which indicates your website is safe to use and make payments.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the increase, the wordpress website vulnerabilities and different malicious activities identifying and installing the best
