: CloudFlare SSL certificate is a good solution? I need to put an SSL certificate on a website in wordpress. It does not store any confidential information. I just want to gain some advantage

@Becky754

Letsencrypt is more like for developer and web programmer, if you have chosen WordPress just for blogging purpose, then I will say go with the cloudflare, because it is easy to setup for a lifetime.

Cloudflare is popular and widely used, but it does not mean, they are the best. For full encryption and security, you have to buy paid service.


Their service ssl flexibe works for this?


Yes, I used that in past. But now I am using Google Firebase which gives me free SSL, but it is not for wordpress, it works great for static website.

SSL is available on all CloudFlare plan levels, including FREE. Flexible SSL will create a secure connection between your site visitors and CloudFlare, but the connection between CloudFlare and your origin will not be secure.

You can learn more about the SSL offerings here:

I don't know anything about CloudFlare certs. I use LetsEncrypt for my pro bono clients.

LetsEncrypt offers free certs that are good for three months only. They are easy to install and renew but, again, must be renewwed every three months.

I prefer to use certbot to do this. It's much easier and stable than going through LetsEncrypt.

You can use them for up to 100 (or is it 200?) alternate names but there is no wildcard.

Of course, they work the same as any other certificate that only offers site ownership verification.
