Happened to w3schools a few years ago. A sign that there may be room for improvement as far as the process for setting up SSL certificates?
- est31 5y agoACME/Let's encrypt has made this process streamlined enough that no manual involvement is needed any more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Certificate_Management_Environment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Certificate_Manageme... I think the main issue is now in increasing deployment of ACME. Let's encrypt has been issuing hundreds of millions of certificates for small websites, but how large is their market share in the serious websites market (Alexa ranks w3.org in the top 10k)? It seems to me that it's covered by different CAs. I wonder which angle Let's encrypt or other ACME/automation based CAs need to improve upon to make themselves attractive to that market.
