Popular search engines (for example, Google)
rank websites with better SSL protection higher.
In the SSL It! extension, you can run one of the most popular testing service,
Qualys SSL Labs, to do the following:
- Check how good the SSL protection of your website is.
- See what can be improved.
- Get A+, the highest possible score (after hardening SSL protection if necessary).
To evaluate the SSL security of your website:
- Go to Websites & Domains > your domain > SSL/TLS Certificates.
- Click “Run SSL Labs Test”.
The Qualys SSL Labs website will be opened in a new tab
and the test will be automatically started.
Wait until the test is finished to receive your grade.
This may take up to several minutes.
If you secured your website with a valid SSL/TLS certificate
from a trusted CA, and you turned on all security-enhancing features
provided by SSL It!, you are most likely to get the A+ score.
