Keep info under (pad)lock and key

FAQ
As many of the answers as we could compile!
- What is Simple SSL?
-
Flywheel’s new Simple SSL add-on is a fully-automatic, 100% free SSL certificate, installed and activated in minutes!
Previously, if you wanted to secure your Flywheel site with SSL, you would have needed to provide your own SSL certificate that you had purchased from a third-party SSL provider.
With Simple SSL, we’re able to eliminate that process and make setting up a site encrypted with SSL incredibly fast and easy.
- How can I add Simple SSL to my site?
-
Easy! you’ll find the button in the add-ons tab of your site’s Flywheel dashboard. For a full guide with all the steps, check out How do I add Simple SSL to my site?
- Will I need to renew my Simple SSL certificate?
-
Nope! Although ordinarily Let’s Encrypt™ certificates do need to be renewed every 90 days, we take care of that for you automatically. So once Simple SSL is active, you don’t need to do anything at all. (So simple!)
