But yeah, LetsEncrypt made SSL free, and for us, AWS's free auto-renewing certificates were the thing that made it easy to not have to worry about certificates anymore and to use them gratuitously.
Edit: looking forward to all the Dreamhosts of the world making LetsEncrypt-based SSL standard on even their cheapest plans.
- sliverstorm 10y agoAgreed, the main reason most pages are slow these days is because they are slow- blaming it on SSL is pure scapegoating

Couple that with the ability to attach the certificate directly to the load balancer (one of the best features of the LB, in my mind), or to a Cloudfront distribution, and it's amazingly simple to have everything running with SSL.
