SSL Security Certificates

SSL Security Certificates are included with all website hosting options.

‍

Security certificates enable a padlock icon in the user’s browser to indicate a secure connection between the browser and your website's hosting.

In Webflow, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is not just an add-on; it is a core part of their hosting infrastructure. When you host a site on Webflow, an SSL certificate is automatically provisioned and renewed for you at no extra cost.

How Webflow Handles SSL

‍

Webflow uses Let’s Encrypt to provide free SSL certificates for all custom domains connected to their platform.

• Automatic Provisioning: Once your DNS records are correctly pointed to Webflow, the certificate is generated within minutes.
• Automatic Renewal: You never have to renew a certificate manually; Pennine Websites handles the renewal before it expires.
• End-to-End Encryption: It ensures all data sent between your visitor’s browser and the Webflow servers is encrypted (HTTPS).
