Sometimes it\u2019s important to read the label. Like before you purchase food at the super market or after you\u2019ve already downed half-a-dozen pills. On the internet, things are no different. Sometimes when you arrive at a website it\u2019s good to read the label.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the label, you say?<\/p>\n

View SSL Certificate details!<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t know how to do that? Join the 99.7% of the population that also don\u2019t. No, checking SSL certificate details<\/strong> is hardly the first thing that pops into your mind when you arrive at a new website, but it should be the first. Especially when you\u2019re visiting new sites.<\/p>\n

As we head further into 2018, SSL certificates are going to become mandatory for every website<\/a><\/strong>. This means that when you click through your browser to view a website\u2019s SSL certificate details, that you\u2019ll be able to glean at least some information about who is running the website.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s extremely simple, while it does vary a bit from a browser its browser, the concept behind it is essentially the same: click the padlock.<\/p>\n

Now, Google briefly eliminated this feature, because they\u2019re foolish, but if you\u2019re running an updated browser it\u2019s back! And if you\u2019re not\u2026 update your browser! I\u2019m not going to go giving outdated security advice if it makes me complicit in you keeping an outdated browser version. That would make me an enabler. It would also require me to put in an extra effort and we all know that\u2019s a non-starter, too. [Editor\u2019s Note: Carl\u2026]<\/p>\n
