Hot Take:

Who knew that a padlock icon next to your URL could mean the difference between page one of Google or the digital abyss? It turns out, data security is the unsung hero of SEO, quietly encrypting its way to the top of search engine rankings. So, while you’re busy stuffing your site with keywords, don’t forget to secure them too, or you might just end up with a site that’s as popular as a VHS rental store.

Key Points:

  • Google loves secure websites (HTTPS), and so should you, because it’s a ranking factor.
  • Trust signals from SSL certificates affect user behavior, impacting SEO.
  • Data breaches can damage a site’s reputation and lower its SEO ranking.
  • Slow site speeds from outdated security practices can hurt SEO.
  • Legal compliance in data security can affect a site’s SEO visibility.
