Let SSL Zen Premium handle certificate tasks

SSL Zen Premium is a WordPress plugin edition for securing a website with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. It automates domain verification, certificate generation, server installation and renewal. After installation, it can also redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

In the free-version workflow, website owners verify domain ownership by uploading a file, then upload and configure the certificate on the server. SSL Zen Premium automates those certificate tasks.

From domain verification to HTTPS

1. Verify the domain for the certificate process.
2. Generate a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.
3. Install the certificate on the server.
4. Renew the certificate automatically. The Let’s Encrypt certificate has a 90-day validity period, so renewal is recurring.
5. After installation, redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

When a site needs HTTPS

HTTPS is useful for pages with forms or payment processing. An SSL certificate helps protect sensitive data from eavesdroppers and provides authentication. Browsers may mark sites without SSL as not secure, while HTTPS can help visitors recognize a secured connection. HTTPS is also a search-engine ranking factor, so securing a site may support its visibility in search results.

Install SSL Zen Premium as a WordPress extension and follow its available setup steps to begin the certificate process. Premium support is available through live chat and email. SSL Zen documentation covers common issues with plugin installation and certificate setup.
