While surfing on Internet and visiting so many websites, we have to be very careful in all respects. Many times, it is required to sign up in the visiting website and become a member.

It is very necessary that we should first confirm the legitimacy of any website as many online scams are running through many fraud websites.

We can further check the security of the website in the URL address. If there is an “https” before the domain address, then we can say that the website is secure as the “s” is indicating the extra security feature to the website. We can also check any third party logo on the website.
We should check that the website is holding an Extended Validation (EV) Certificate (digital certificate) which can be useful for a browser to identify the genuine website. This certificate sometimes reflects on the green color on the browser address position.
Before registering on the website, we should do some research about the website in the different reviews available online. These reviews are very helpful and give us a fair idea about the website. All these reviews are originally written by the users which give us a fair idea about the product or website .
