Is SSL Free in WordPress?

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a security protocol that helps protect data traveling between a web server and your browser. In order for SSL to work, both the web server and the browser must have the protocol installed and activated.

However, SSL is not always free.

Some web hosting providers offer SSL as part of their service, but it’s not always included. If you need to use SSL, you’ll need to pay for the software and/or the service.

Additionally, some WordPress plugins and themes require SSL in order to function properly. If you’re using a WordPress site that requires SSL, make sure to check whether or not it’s included in your hosting plan or if you’ll need to pay for it.

SSL is a valuable security measure, but it’s not always free. If you need to use SSL, make sure to budget for it and check with your hosting provider to see if it’s included.
