Imagine: a visitor clicks on your website, ready to request a quote, book a service, or simply learn more about you. But instead, they see a warning:
“Unsecure connection – this site may be dangerous.”
The result? They close the tab. You lose an opportunity. And this scenario may repeat itself every day. In 2025, website security is no longer a luxury, it’s an absolute standard. And that requires a simple but essential transition: switching to HTTPS.
For several years, Google and all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari…) have been pushing for the adoption of HTTPS.
Today, a website on HTTP:
In short, continuing without HTTPS exposes your business to loss of trust, visibility, and credibility.
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of the HTTP protocol, which allows data to be exchanged over the internet. It works using an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate, installed on your site, which encrypts exchanges between the browser and the server. This ensures that data (forms, logins, etc.), if intercepted by a third party, cannot be decoded and is therefore secure.
There are now free SSL certificates available, such as those offered by Let’s Encrypt, which are suitable for most websites. For specific needs (additional insurance, guarantees, extended validation), it is also possible to opt for paid certificates.
It’s very simple :
Modern browsers like Chrome or Firefox display a “Not Secure” warning, which can immediately discourage your visitors from proceeding.
With HTTPS, all data sent via your site is encrypted. This ensures confidentiality, which is essential for building trust.
A secure site ranks higher in search results, which can significantly increase your traffic.
Today, most hosting providers (including the ones we use) automatically renew SSL certificates, so you don’t have to manage anything.
Contrary to what you may sometimes hear, HTTPS does not affect your website’s speed. In fact, the opposite is true: Google favors fast, secure websites.
At Woodle, we include the installation, configuration, and automatic renewal of the SSL certificate in all our hosting and maintenance packages.
Your site is secured from the moment it goes live, without you having to worry about it.
