Security & Authentication

Good Gallery requires that all customers use TLS (Transport Layer Security) via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates. This ensures all visitor traffic is authenticated and encrypted.

Overview

Good Gallery provides several layers of security for your website:

• Authentication & Encryption — HTTPS, HTTP/2, HSTS, HSTS preload list, encryption details, hints and tips for secure configurations, unsupported browser information, and GDPR cookie warning setup.
• Password Protection — Create private pages and discourage search engines from indexing restricted content.
• Usernames & Passwords — Account credentials, sharing access, and changing your username.

Key Security Benefits

There are several benefits for websites secured with SSL certificates:

• Reduced likelihood that information can be intercepted by a third party
• Your business appears more trustworthy and professional
• Visitors know that information shared via online forms is protected
• Your website will not be identified and flagged as insecure by browsers
• Sensitive data like usernames and passwords are protected
• Google rewards HTTPS encryption with a minor SEO ranking benefit
• Good Gallery servers can employ HTTP/2 technology, improving download speed

Once your website is live, a free SSL certificate is automatically installed on your public Good Gallery website. SSL certificates are renewed automatically every sixty days.
