Github pages supports TLS even for custom domains now, via Let's Encrypt. At this point, I don't think there's any excuse anymore for having a static website without TLS. Either use Github pages, or just use your favorite hosting provider and put a CDN in front of it. Note: I'm not affiliated to Github, but I've used them multiple times, and just recently discovered they now support TLS. If you want to see an example: https://solokeys.com https://solokeys.com is hosted on Github pages.

As far as I know Github is the _only_ static site provider that will do this for you. I’m scratching my head trying to figure out the best way to do automated certificate renewal for othe providers. It’s not like you can run certbot on a static page.
