This means that the website being visited is secured and protected by a valid SSL certificate. Sometimes it's highlighted by by HTTPS.

Thank you for the information. I have been seeing it but I don't know the meaning. It have not occurred to me to know the meaning of padlock

Thanks for this information. The padlock performs same functions as as HTTPS. It is an indication of a website that is secured against malware.

The padlock shows that your website has been secured through an SSL certificate. This certificate encrypts and decrypts data.
