On October 1, 2011, Facebook will start requiring all Facebook pages with custom content to possess SSL certificates. An SSL certificate proves that the page is protected by “Secure Socket Layers,” which encrypt information as it moves around the internet. Facebook is doing this to protect its users’ information and improve overall site security.

If you’re a Pagemodo user, you’re in luck: Pagemodo has prepared for this and is all set. All content you upload to Pagemodo for your custom Facebook tabs is securely delivered with SSL. There’s nothing you need to do. Your business’s Facebook page—with its eye-catching and unique custom tabs—is in compliance with the new requirement.

So don’t worry: you are covered!
