Site Seals & Trust Indicators

A site seal, also called an SSL Certificate awareness badge, is a small trust mark you display on your website to show visitors that the site is secured. Every SSL Certificate offered by Trustico® includes the Trustico® site seal at no extra cost.

You configure the seal with the badge generator further down this page, then copy the code it produces and add it to your site. The sections below explain what the seal shows and how to place it.

What the Seal Displays

The seal displays a Secured by Trustico® mark together with the current date, and the embedded version also shows the time in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Because the date and time update automatically, the seal stays current rather than showing a fixed image.

You can choose whether the seal also names the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued your SSL Certificate, and you can pick from four styles to match your site.

Choosing and Placing the Seal

The generator offers two sizes, small or regular, and two ways to display the seal. A floating, sticky seal stays visible in a corner as visitors scroll, while an embedded seal sits in a fixed position within your page. You can also set which side a floating seal appears on and whether it shows on desktop, mobile, or both.

A site seal has the most effect where visitors decide whether to trust the site, such as checkout, sign-up, contact, and payment pages. Placing it in the footer keeps it visible across every page as well.

Adding the Seal to Your Website

Configure the seal in the generator below, then copy the short snippet it produces and paste it into your website where you want the seal to appear.

The snippet is a single element plus a script that loads with the defer attribute, so it does not block your page from loading, and it works on any website whatever platform the site is built on.

Why Display a Site Seal

Encryption itself is invisible to most visitors. A site seal makes your SSL Certificate visible, giving people a clear signal that the site takes security seriously before they share information or complete a purchase.

The seal works alongside the browser padlock and the HTTPS address : the padlock confirms the connection is encrypted, and the seal adds a visible, branded reminder that the site holds a valid SSL Certificate from a recognized Certificate Authority (CA). Understand Browser Compatibility 🔗
