SECURE YOUR DOMAIN WITH SSL

他の言語العربيةDeutschEspañolFrançaisעִבְרִיתBahasa
IndonesiaItaliano日本語한국어NederlandsPortuguês do BrasilРусскийSvenskaTürkçe简体中文繁體中文


An SSL certificate protects the privacy and security of you and your website
visitors. This guide will show you how to view your domain’s SSL cert, which we
include for free with all domains on WordPress.com.

In this guide

 1. About SSL
 2. Install an SSL Certificate
 3. Check Your SSL Status
 4. Renew a Domain’s SSL
 5. Disable SSL


ABOUT SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the global standard in encrypted online security
technology. An SSL certificate reduces the risk of malicious players (hackers or
identity thieves) stealing sensitive information like credit card numbers and
passwords from a website visitor or the website itself. Essentially, it provides
safe, encrypted communication between your computer and the website you’re
visiting.

SSL certificates on WordPress.com come from the Let’s Encrypt Certificate
Authority. All certificates on WordPress.com use the same Common Name,
tls.automattic.com, and store the unique domain names (grouped in batches of
about 50) in the SubjectAltName attribute. All modern browsers honor this
attribute, so you and your visitors will not encounter any security warnings on
your site.

TLS is the upgraded version of SSL, although the terms SSL and TLS are often
used interchangeably. WordPress.com supports TLS versions TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3.

WordPress.com also sends a Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header with all our
HTTPS responses, ensuring your site is accessed via https instead of the
less-secure http.


INSTALL AN SSL CERTIFICATE

Although it’s common for WordPress site owners to install (and pay for) their
own SSL certificate, we take care of this for you on WordPress.com. It is not
possible (or necessary) to install an SSL certificate from another source — we
automatically encrypt all domains registered and connected to a WordPress.com
website.

Our automated process adds an SSL certificate shortly after the domain is
registered, transferred, or connected to your WordPress.com site. Adding an SSL
certificate to your site may take up to 72 hours. If you are not seeing an
active SSL just yet, give it time to take effect.

For domains connected to WordPress.com from other registrars, SSL certificates
are added after you complete the connection process.


CHECK YOUR SSL STATUS

To make sure your domain has an active SSL certificate, take the following
steps:

 1. Visit your site’s dashboard.
 2. Navigate to Upgrades → Domains.
 3. Click on your domain.
 4. Scroll down to the “Domain security” section.
 5. Check for the text “SSL certificate active”:

You can also check if a site has a working SSL by checking the URL in your
browser’s address bar when visiting the website as a normal visitor. Browsers
typically show a lock icon, safety seal, or a green URL bar to indicate a secure
connection.


RENEW A DOMAIN’S SSL

You do not need to take action to renew your domain’s SSL certificate. It is
renewed automatically when you renew your domain. Your SSL certificate will
remain active as long as the domain is connected to a WordPress.com site.


DISABLE SSL

We consider strong encryption so crucial that we do not allow you to compromise
the security of your website by disabling SSL. We also 301 redirect all insecure
HTTP requests to the secure HTTPS version.
