HOW IT WORKS

Faster, more secure websites with TLS

Formerly known as SSL, Transport Layer Security (TLS) encrypts web traffic and authenticates origin servers. Cloudflare TLS certificates auto-renew, saving time and money and preventing service disruptions.

Cloudflare also has advanced customization options for enterprises, including Advanced Certificate Manager, keyless SSL, custom hostnames, and SSL for SaaS.
