SSL, in four calm steps

No terminal. No config files. The plugin walks you through everything.

  1. 1

    Generate a free certificate

    SSL Zen requests a browser-trusted certificate from Let's Encrypt for your domain.

  2. 2

    Verify your domain

    Prove the site is yours with a simple, guided check — no DNS expertise needed.

  3. 3

    Install it

    Follow clear steps for your host — or let Pro install it for you automatically.

  4. 4

    Force HTTPS everywhere

    One click redirects every visitor to HTTPS and clears the “Not Secure” warning.

Questions, answered

Is the SSL certificate really free?

Yes. SSL Zen uses Let's Encrypt, a nonprofit certificate authority trusted by every major browser. The certificate itself costs nothing — Pro only pays for automation and support.

Do I need any coding skills?

No. The plugin walks you through each step in plain language, inside your WordPress dashboard. If you can install a plugin, you can install SSL.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free gives you the same trusted certificate with a guided manual install, renewed by hand every 90 days. Pro installs and renews it automatically and includes live chat support — you never touch it again.

Does it work on my hosting provider?

Almost certainly. SSL Zen works with cPanel and non-cPanel hosts alike, and adapts its instructions to your setup. If something's unusual, support will help you through it.

How does renewal work?

Let's Encrypt certificates last 90 days. On Free, SSL Zen emails you 30 days before expiry with simple renewal steps. On Pro, renewal happens automatically in the background.

Will it fix the “Not Secure” warning?

Yes — that warning appears when a site lacks a valid certificate or loads insecure content. SSL Zen installs the certificate, forces HTTPS, and fixes mixed content, which clears the warning.
