SSL/TLS Certificates covers the tools a site can load or configure to handle this part of its stack. We detect one of the 16 ssl/tls certificates tools in this category on 203,675 live sites. A detection means we found the technology on the site, which is not the same as a paid account.

GlobalSign is the most widely detected ssl/tls certificates tool at 79.22% share, on 161,355 sites. The largest share of those sites belongs to various companies, and to businesses in the 1-10 employee band.

The industries with the most detected sites in this category are Construction, Business Consulting and Services, Retail, IT Services and IT Consulting, Advertising Services. Industry mix follows where these tools get installed, so a category carried by website builders or agency templates will lean toward the verticals those platforms serve rather than the vendor's target buyer.

Start from your own size, industry and primary use case rather than from share. GlobalSign, SwissSign and GoDaddy Site Seal are the three we detect most often in this category, which tells you what is common, not what fits you. Compare their integrations, pricing tiers and support commitments against the workflow you actually run, and check each vendor's own documentation for current capabilities.
