SAFETY AND SECURITY

Information provided on this site is secured and encrypted by Wix.

A Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL certificate, allows visitors to view a site over an HTTPS connection. It secures the connection between your browser and the web address you’re visiting. Wix provides an SSL certificate automatically for all sites.

​

When a webpage has a SSL certificate, you can see a lock icon on the address bar next to the domain. Clicking this icon shows you more SSL details. However, if there isn't an SSL certificate, an "i" icon appears instead.
