If you are using CloudFlare you probably know about this.

What is SSL?
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web
server and a browser. This secure link ensures that all data transferred remains private. Its also called TLS
(Transport Layer Security). Millions of websites use SSL encryption everyday to secure connections and keep their
customers data safe from monitoring and tampering.
SSL is visible to users in several ways in the website address bar:

A lock icon in the browser bar

The website address starting with https://

Example:

SSL is one of the most widely reviewed and adopted security tools on the Internet today. It is essential to keeping the
Internet safe and secure.
Why websites use SSL
An increasing number of websites adopt SSL for various reasons:

Security: ensure that no one is intercepting web traffic

Trust: by displaying a green lock image, the website increases visitors trust

Search ranking boost: Google ranks sites that have SSL higher in search results

Regulatory compliance: financial institutions and web stores that work with credit cards must comply
with regulations and adopt SSL on their websites

CloudFlare makes SSL easy

SSL can be difficult for website administrators to set up. Configuring SSL requires going to a Certificate Authority
(CA) to verify your identity and authenticity of your website, installing the certificate on your server, and constantly
keeping it up-to-date. CloudFlare makes enabling SSL one-click easy. You dont have to worry about getting a
certificate yourself, installing it on your server, or keeping it renewed we take care of all that.
For sites that require more advanced SSL configurations, CloudFlare supports custom certificates from any
certificate authority, full end-to-end SSL with robust certificate checking, and even Keyless SSL which lets sites use
CloudFlare without giving up custody of their private keys.
CloudFlare makes SSL fast, easy, and secure for any organization and reduce the friction SSL adds to the security
and performance of Layer 7 applications.
