'''SSL'''
If your website does not have an SSL certificate then all web traffic direct to your site will be unencrypted and potentially subject to snooping, either at the ISP level, at the level of your hosting provider or at a level that specifically targets your site's users locally (ie: local interception of their communications on a coffee shop's wireless network).
Secure Socket Layer(SSL) is a cryptographic protocol which allows secure client-server interactions. Once a secure session has been established between the client, for example your web browser, and the server, your website in this case, all the information that passes between the two is unreadable to external parties.
