You no longer have a choice about locking down your website. Google will mark all non-HTTPS sites as insecure this July. It’s time to lock your site down, and Let’s Encrypt gives you a free and easy way to do it.

Companies have been delaying securing their websites for years. It’s too much trouble, they think. It will cost too much, others say. Too bad. Google isn’t putting up with these excuses anymore.

Come July 2018, with the release of Chrome 68, any site not protected with Secure-Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) will be marked with the red-triangle of an insecure site. Unless you secure your site, you can kiss your web traffic goodbye.
