everything should be this easy and free
I am so thankful for this plugin. I have a series of personal websites that I intend to keep and have paid for SSL certificates for several of them so they appear more professional. During the development of another site I found this plugin and activated it, followed the instructions and got 3 months SSL free. I wanted to see what would happen after the 3 months before I added my review ... the updating of the certificate was the same as the installation ... a few simple clicks and the dates were advanced for another 3 months. I am happy to update the SSL manually as it gives me an opportunity just to check on each website.There really should be easier instructions for people to use SSL on all websites freely ... but the instructions for this plugin are great. It would be great if everyone knew that updating was just as easy to do.

AMAZING... (TRUE ALL-IN-ONE)
The creators/coders of this plugin have outdone themselves. They've made a TRUELY FREE all-in-one SSL plugin. At the time of this review...NameCheap is my host. This plugin did not require, request, or force me to go outside of the plugin in order to have a successful SSL. It literally did all of the steps for me within its WP Plugin Dashboard in the CMS of my WP site...WOOOWWWW!!! It gave clear steps, and pop-up notes to let me know what to do. If your site is installed correctly on your host then I'm 98% sure you won't have a problem NOR need to go outside of the plugin like some other plugins need you to do in order for them to work to satisfaction. THANK YOU SO MUCH Prasad Kirpekar for a thoroughly made plugin that is headache free!!!

Perfecto anda bien, Work perfect
Anda perfecto no tenés que hacer nada, solo lo instalás, genera el certificado, luego vas a tu CPanel en certificados SSL y copias el texto contenido en el certificado y listo. Anda mejor que otros que tenés que descargar y subir algún archivo. install it, generate the certificate, then go to your CPanel in SSL certificates and copy the text contained in the certificate and that's it. It works better than others that you have to download and upload a file. Thank you, gracias!

IT JUST WORKS
As much as I am a big fan of Namecheap they are trying to get me to pay for a new SSL cert when I know it's pretty easy to get a free one. I had a look at my options then came across this plugin and it was so easy. Yes it is free and there's no hidden cost. Just great thanks very much.
