What web developers should know about SSL but probably don't

Link – Dec 22nd 2015

In 2015 web developers understand more about SSL than they ever have. If you read Hacker News you should know:

You can get domain validated (DV) certs from Let's Encrypt for free.

You can get extended validation (EV) certs from CertSimple with checks before you pay. That's us by the way!

The Mozilla SSL Config Generator can set up your server as secure as possible for the browsers you want to support.

When you're done, use SSL Labs to check everything. Make sure you get an A, otherwise people will pick on you.

What about the rest?
