Generating a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) is the first step in obtaining an SSL certificate for your website. SSL certificates are important because they enable encryption of the data transfer between your website visitors’ browsers and your website, ensuring that the connection and all data passed is secure and private.
When you generate a CSR on Plesk, you create a certificate signing request and a private key. You then submit this CSR file to a certificate authority (CA) like Comodo/Sectigo/Certera. The CA will validate your domain ownership and other details and issue you an SSL certificate.
