How Do I Get SSL on Webflow?
Securing your website with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is essential for establishing trust and protecting sensitive information. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to get SSL on Webflow, a popular website builder that offers an easy and intuitive way to create beautiful websites.
Step 1: Sign in to your Webflow account
If you haven’t already, sign in to your Webflow account using your credentials. Once you are logged in, you will be directed to the Webflow Dashboard.
Step 2: Select your project
Navigate to the project for which you want to enable SSL. Click on the project name or thumbnail in the Dashboard to open the project settings.
Step 3: Open Project Settings
In the project settings, scroll down until you see the ‘Hosting’ section. Click on it to expand the hosting settings.
Step 4: Enable SSL
In the hosting settings, toggle the ‘SSL’ option to enable it for your website. This will automatically generate and install an SSL certificate for your domain.
Step 5: Publish your site
To make sure that changes take effect, publish your site by clicking on ‘Publish’ in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer or navigating back to the Dashboard and clicking ‘Publish’ next to your project.
Note:
- Please note that it may take some time for SSL activation and certificate installation process to complete. During this time, your website may show a ‘Not Secure’ warning message.
- If you have a custom domain, make sure it is properly connected to your Webflow project before enabling SSL. You can do this by following Webflow’s domain setup instructions.
Once the SSL activation process is complete, your website will be served over HTTPS, ensuring a secure connection between your site and its visitors. Visitors will see a padlock icon in their browser’s address bar, indicating that the connection is secure.
In conclusion, getting SSL on Webflow is as simple as enabling it in the hosting settings of your project. By following these easy steps, you can ensure that your website is protected and establish trust with your visitors.
