The SSL padlock is a small security icon that appears in the address bar of modern web browsers whenever a user visits a website secured with an SSL certificate. This padlock symbol indicates that the connection between the user’s browser and the web server is encrypted and secure.

• When users click on the padlock, they can view detailed information about the SSL certificate, such as:
• The identity of the certificate holder (website owner)
• The issuing Certificate Authority (CA)
• The certificate’s validity period
• The type of encryption used

This visual cue helps visitors quickly verify that the website they are visiting protects their data and is trustworthy, giving them confidence to browse, submit personal information, or make online transactions safely.

Hosting providers like govaio.com make it easy to enable SSL certificates and display the SSL padlock on your website through cPanel, helping you build trust and improve security with minimal effort.
