🔒 Free, Automatic, and End-to-End HTTPS Encryption

You may have noticed your 22Slides website now works with https. Some time ago, we quietly launched free, automatic, and end-to-end SSL certificate support with the help of Let's Encrypt.

What this means is your website will display a small 'lock' icon in the address bar, and won't show the default 'not secure' message that some browsers started displaying for standard http websites.

Behind the scenes, though, all traffic between your visitors and your website is now end-to-end encrypted for maximum privacy.
