I worked for an authority that issued digital certificates for SSL and digital signatures. It's not only about providing encryption but also about trust, when a top level entity issues a SSL certificate, a number of identity validations are carried out, adding an extra layer or confidence on that website. This may seem inconsequential for static websites without PII, however most browsers consider it important as it…

you didn't answer the _why do we need all that for a drum beat making website_?

At least so that login / register data don't go to the middle man.

Please allow triplets! You're missing out big without a basic shuffle! I also second the other comments about ordering. Cymbals on top, snare and toms in middle, bass and other pedals on the bottom. e.g. hh |x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| S |----o-------o---| B |o-------o-o-----|

I guess you could make a 3x16 pattern but interpret it as a 4x12, so each beat is three steps...

I would rather everyone use HTTPS than have them individually decide if it "needs to be secure".

Why is that?

The downsides of being secure are a 5 minute setup, once. The thought process of "should this be secure?" is 10 minutes even if the answer is obvious.

So why bother? Just be secure and move on.

You don't. But you will be penalized by Big Co for not supporting https.

(It's effectively a "doing business on the Internet" tax. Thankfully not that expensive for small hobby projects now.)

Unauthenticated http is a vector for opportunistic malware. They don’t target specific websites, just inject evil.js wherever.

You ISP sniffing and MiTMing traffic on the wire is the least likely vector of malware injection.

ISP's are usually serious businesses with reputations and don't hack their own customers.

Https does nothing for security.

Its purpose is to authenticate financial transaction packets, not to be "secure". (Whatever that means.)
