When it comes to free SSL certificates we have a few popular choices:
CloudFlare SSL
Let’s Encrypt SSL
Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate is the most popular because it is built into the cPanel of many hosting providers like Hawkhost or StableHost.
If your hosting does not have this certificate built in, you can still install the Let’s Encrypt certificate. The details I have shared in the guide to install SSL for WordPress website.
