How do you know if a website is safe?

When you are surfing the internet, it is important to know if the website you are visiting is safe. This is because you could fall victim to a cyber attack that could damage your computer or steal your personal information.

There are a few things you can do to make sure the website you are visiting is safe.

Check the URL
The first thing you should do is check the URL of the website. If you see "http" in the URL, it means that the site is not secure. Secure sites use the "https" protocol. After this letter is a padlock icon that confirms that the site is encrypted.

Check SSL certificate
If you see a padlock icon in the browser address bar, you can be sure that the site is secure. An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that confirms the identity of the website owner.

Check the site's reputation
There are several websites that offer information about website security. These sites usually provide a website security rating based on several factors, such as the use of a secure connection, the presence of malware or phishing attacks, and the reputation of the website owner.

Check your browser settings
Your browser may have certain features enabled that can enhance the security of your browsing experience. For example, you can enable blocking of third-party cookies that may be used to track your online behavior.
