SSL works by ensuring that any data transferred between users and websites, or between two systems, remains impossible to read. Thus making your website secure.

3:50 Why do you need an SSL certificate?

Some Hosting providers offer SSL Certificates for free when you buy their hosting package. However you might not find SSL bundled with your particular plan. If that’s the case, you can either buy an SSL from your hosting provider or get a FREE alternative. This tutorial will show you just that! The only difference between paid and free SSL is the price. You’ll get the exact same product either way so don’t waste money if you’re thinking of buying one!

Tutorial summary:
2. Select FREE version
3. Copy the nameservers that CloudFlare gave you
4. Replace your hosting provider’s nameservers with CloudFlare ones
5. Install “Cloudflare Flexible plugin”
6. Install “Really Simple SSL plugin”
7. Click "Activate SSL" button
8. Refresh your website and enjoy your free SSL!

After this, your website should have a brand new SSL certificate. It will improve your security, and at least Google won't look at you as a "bad guy". The trickiest part of this was changing the nameservers since you can host your website on very different providers. I hope I solved your problems and your website is now secure.

Hi today ! What I'm find annoying is that when you have bought a premium ssl, cheap price positive ssl and then you use a cdn. No matter if that is cloudflare, bunny, etc, etc...the cdn provider forces you to use their free ssl, which makes your premium ssl useless, it will not due. It's so annoying...
