Do the "requests" mean page views or http requests? A single page view almost always has multiple http requests. Github really needs to add https support for custom domains. It's 2016, https should be the default. Worth mentioning that Gitlab pages supports https for custom domains. I am considering moving my blog to Gitlab. Anyone know about the resource limits and performance under Gitlab pages?
