Yes. It gives the same encryption as a paid one.
What customers say
Brendan and Ash are top-notch guys who not only are experts at Wordpress and site speed, but they also know SEO and how site speed plays into it. Brendan got me going and showed me my site’s CRUX reports and other things and setup an action plan for me based on what my site was deficient in. Then Ash stepped in and made the plan a reality! He also had a bunch of insights and recommendations that I’ve never heard before on the various SEO and webmaster blogs. Best of all, my site’s scores are all now in the 90 percentile and we still have the CDN to enable! Also, there was no downtime or anything broken on the site like I was expecting. Great job guys! I will be referring you to my friends and business partners.
Awesome, quick service that just works. Highly recommended!
Our initial engagement was to help us optimise the speed of our website without compromising its impact. The team were professional and responsive when we first engaged in 2020 and have continued to be so ever since.
