Discover how to easily set up SSL for a WeWeb site with this step-by-step guide, making communication secure and building trust with your audience.
Setting up SSL for WeWeb sites is crucial for keeping user info safe and making sure connections are secure. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) makes sure the data between the user's browser and your website stays private by encrypting it. This means getting an SSL certificate, setting up your web server right, and tweaking things in WeWeb. Do this, and it's a big boost for your site's trustworthiness, SEO rankings, and protection of sensitive info. Plus, your users will feel safer browsing.
First things first, log in to the WeWeb platform. Head over to your project dashboard and pick the project you want to set up SSL for.
In the project settings, find the "Domain" section and click on it. This is where you'll manage your custom domain configurations.
Hit the "Add Domain" button. Type in your custom domain name in the field provided. Don't forget to include the correct subdomain, like www.yourdomain.com.
You'll need to verify that you own the domain. Follow the instructions to add a TXT record to your DNS configuration or use another verification method that WeWeb offers.
Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider. Add the necessary DNS records to point your custom domain to WeWeb's servers. Usually, this means creating an A record pointing to a specific IP address and maybe a CNAME record too.
Head back to the WeWeb domain settings after the DNS changes have propagated. WeWeb will automatically detect the DNS configuration. Toggle the SSL setting to "On." WeWeb will then provision an SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt.
Give it some time for WeWeb to issue and install the SSL certificate. This usually takes a few minutes, but sometimes it can take up to an hour. Grab a coffee or something!
Once the SSL certificate is installed, check that your site is accessible via HTTPS by visiting your custom domain. Make sure there are no mixed content warnings or other issues.
To make sure all traffic is encrypted, enable the "Enforce HTTPS" setting within WeWeb. This will automatically redirect any HTTP requests to HTTPS.
By following these steps, your WeWeb site will be secured with SSL, ensuring data transferred between users and the site is encrypted and secure.
