SEO – Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, which means that if your website is using HTTPS it may get a certain boost in Google rankings.
Browser warnings – if you are not using HTTPS, Google Chrome and other browsers will flag your site as “Not Secure”.
Trustworthiness – people usually trust a website much more if they have an SSL certificate.
