Adding a Sectigo Trust Seal
This guide explains how to add a dynamic trust seal to a secure website with a Sectigo SSL certificate.
What is a Trust Seal?
Infomaniak, as a web host, provides SSL certificates to secure its clients' websites. Sectigo (formerly known as Comodo) is a recognized SSL certificate provider that offers different levels of security.
The "dynamic trust seal," or "Sectigo Trust Seal" / "Sectigo Trust Logo," is a visual that website owners can display on their pages to indicate to visitors that their connection is secure. This seal is a sign of trust that informs users that transactions and information exchanges on the site are encrypted and protected by an SSL certificate issued by Sectigo.
Here's how a dynamic trust seal works:
- Validation: To obtain such a seal, the site owner must first obtain a valid SSL certificate from Sectigo, which requires a validation process; depending on the chosen certificate level (Domain Validation - DV, Organization Validation - OV, or Extended Validation - EV), this validation can be more or less thorough
- Installation: Once the SSL certificate is obtained and installed on Infomaniak's web server, the website is then capable of establishing secure connections via HTTPS
- Displaying the Seal: Sectigo provides HTML code or a script that the site owner can then integrate into their website; this code displays the Sectigo dynamic trust seal
- Updating: The seal is often updated in real-time to reflect the current status of the SSL certificate; if the certificate were to expire or be revoked, the seal would also reflect this, thereby warning potential visitors that the site may no longer be secure
By using a Sectigo SSL certificate and displaying the dynamic trust seal, a website hosted with Infomaniak benefits not only from data exchange security but also from increased user trust, essential in e-commerce and for the protection of personal information.
Adding a Trust Seal
The trust seal consists of an image and HTML code. This latter only works if a Sectigo certificate is installed on the site and in this case generates an interactive logo displaying the certificate data.
Save one of the images below
Right-click on the image to save and then click on Save image as...
- Small
- Medium
- Large
Upload the image to your site
Upload the image to your web server (via FTP or your CMS) and note the URL to access this image for the next step (e.g., https://domain.xyz/wp-content/uploads/sectigo.png).
Integrate this code on the page where the seal should appear
Insert the following code into the page header:
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + tlJsHost + "trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
//]]>
Insert the following code where the seal should appear:
TrustLogo("https://domain.xyz/wp-content/uploads/sectigo.png", "CL1", "none");
Important:
- Adapt the image path according to the URL noted above
- CL1 corresponds to a DV SSL certificate; replace CL1 with SC5 for an EV SSL certificate
