Hi guys welcome to techy shubham Today we're going to see how you can get a free SSL for your wordpress website Now if you go to your website and you see this not secure message on your browser It means that you do not have SSL Now if you want to change this message into the secure lock symbol You need to get an SSL for your website So this will make your visitors to trust your website So let's get started We're going to get a free SSL in just five steps The first step is to 'Create an account on a website called cloudflare' So this is a website which is going to give us the free SSL So to create the account let's go to cloudflare.com And then click sign up Now enter your email And password And click create account Okay so now our account is created Next let's go to step two Which is to 'Add your website to this account' So just enter your website name And then click add site Then click Next Now select the free plan And click confirm Then scroll down And click continue Okay so now our website has been added to cloudflare So next let's go to step three Which is to 'Change your nameservers' So we need to add these nameservers To your domain So to add these nameservers You need
to first login to your
domain provider's website
So to find out your domain provider
Just click here
And you can see that
our domain is provided by godaddy
So to add these nameservers
First let's login to godaddy
So we'll open a new window
And then go to godaddy.com
Now click sign in
And then sign in into your account
So here you can see that we have the
same domain which we added to cloudflare
Now to change the
nameservers of this domain
Just click DNS
And then scroll down to nameservers
And click change
Now click here
And select custom
And now here you need to enter the
details which is provided in cloudflare
So
let's go there
And then copy the first value
And paste it here
Then copy this one
And paste it
Now click save
So now we have successfully
added the nameservers
To our domain
So let's go back to cloudflare
And then click continue
Now to check if the nameservers are changed
Let's click recheck now
And you will get this message
And now if we click refresh
You should see this green icon
Which means your nameservers
have been changed
Now even if you don't
see this green icon immediately
You can still go to the next step
And everything will work
at the end of this video
So once you have added your nameservers
You can now go to step four
Which is to install the
cloudflare plugin in wordpress
So to install the plugin
let's go to WordPress
And then go to plugins
And click add new
Now
search for flexible SSL
And you will get this plugin
Now let's install this plugin by clicking here
And activate
So now we have installed the
cloudflare plugin in wordpress
So once you have installed the plugin
We can now go to the final step
Which is to 'Enable SSL in cloudflare'
So let's go back to cloudflare
And then click this lock icon
Now scroll down
to Always Use HTTPS
And turn it on
Now as soon as you turn this on
Your website will now be secured with SSL
So let's check it
Now if you go to your site
You can see that
before we had this not secure message
But now if we click refresh
You can see that we now have the lock
And the
HTTPS
Which means we have now got the SSL
So now if you click here
You can see that our browser says
The connection is secure
Now if your site didn't load properly
Just wait for a few minutes
And then load it from a different device
It will work after a few minutes
Okay guys so this is how you can get
a free SSL for your wordpress website
So thanks for watching
I'll see you in the next article
Ba-bye
