Security & SSL

SSL readiness

Prepare HTTPS before a website, WordPress site, app, or customer domain goes live.

What this means

What this means

SSL depends on correct domain ownership, DNS target, hosting/app routing, and certificate issuance. It should be checked before public launch.

Before you start

Before you start

Know your domain, DNS provider, target service, current SSL state, and whether Cloudflare is involved.

Step-by-step guidance

Step-by-step guidance

  1. Confirm the domain points to the intended service.
  2. Check whether www and root domain both need SSL.
  3. Keep email DNS records separate from website changes.
  4. Wait for support if DNS or Cloudflare ownership is unclear.
  5. Verify HTTPS after launch and before announcing the site.
