The snark is well deserved. The article's title is condescending and wrong, setting up TLS isn't "easy," and claiming otherwise is unproductive. This is nothing but a glorified ad for CloudFlare, and doesn't prove that HTTPS is "easy" but rather using CloudFlare's package offering is easier. I like Troy Hunt, but this isn't one of his best.

But yeah, it should be httpsiseasyIFusingcloudflare.com or something. > This is nothing but a glorified ad for CloudFlare It's technically not though. He says they didn't even know he was making this. It's just a nice little free resource for anyone using Cloudflare or looking for a relatively easy path to https. For him, it'll drive some traffic back to his other site and build his brand a bit more. It'll probably result in a bunch of Cloudflare sites beefing up their security a bit and capture some who haven't previously tackled https at all. Isn't that a good thing?
