Reducing the displayed value from { "is_secure" YES/NO, "http/https" ARGH/WHAT, "full URL" GIBBERISH } to { "is_secure" YES/NO, "domain" AOL KEYWORD } improves

Reducing the displayed value from { "is_secure" YES/NO, "http/https" ARGH/WHAT, "full URL" GIBBERISH } to { "is_secure" YES/NO, "domain" AOL KEYWORD } improves my chances of defending against a phishing attack someday, as well as those of non-tech users.
Reducing information density is a critical component of automobile safety measures. Dashboards in cars just prior to the "screens everywhere" era have been boiled down to the essence of what's necessary for a human being to operate a vehicle safely and without putting others at risk: One bright line showing speed, one bright line showing engine speed, one bright lint showing fuel remaining, and a few multicolored status icons; and then, a central info display where any logic more complex than "push to show next value" requires parking the car.
EDIT: Changed NAME to AOL KEYWORD.
