Certificate workflow for WordPress

SSL Zen Premium is a WordPress add-on edition for setting up a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. It automates domain verification, certificate generation, and server installation. The add-on also automates renewal and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection.

Automation and the manual process

The free-version process described requires site owners to verify domain ownership by uploading a file, then upload and configure the certificate on the server. SSL Zen Premium automates these certificate tasks as part of its add-on process.

Renewal and HTTPS redirection

The Let’s Encrypt certificate described has a 90-day validity period, so renewal recurs. SSL Zen Premium automates renewal. After installation, HTTP traffic can be redirected to HTTPS to help move existing pages to secure addresses.

Using HTTPS on a website

HTTPS is useful on pages with forms or payment processing. An SSL certificate helps protect sensitive data from eavesdroppers and offers authentication. Secure HTTPS addresses can also help visitors recognize that a site uses encryption.

Setup and support

Install SSL Zen Premium as a WordPress plugin and follow its available setup steps. Premium support is available through live chat and email. SSL Zen documentation covers common installation issues and can help during setup or troubleshooting.
