Title: SSL Impact

Hi Experts,

What will be the consequences if SSL does not get installed on a website? Will this also impact the SEO?

Please reply.

Without SSL, users' data is transmitted over the wire unencrypted.

SSL encrypts the data sent between your website server and your website visitor. This is critical for such information as credit card numbers, passwords, and private user information. For example, if someone maliciously takes control of a Starbucks router where your member is connecting to your website from, even if they capture all the information sent by your member to your website, they cannot decipher what the data actually is because it is encrypted.

SSL ensures that the data is coming from your website server, and no one can masquerade as your website. Without SSL, someone malicious can inject malicious code into your website, it would allow them to capture information such as credit card numbers, passwords, user information, or even install viruses on your member's computer.
