I'll give it a shot. If you put up your site behind HTTPS you are breaking the web for older web clients. Many sites have already deprecated TLS v1.1 so even 10 year old devices may no longer be able to access the web. HTTPS is great but it has a cost.
- _bxg1 7y ago> even 10 year old devices may no longer be able to access the web I think you mean 10 year old software, which is a much smaller bucket than 10 year old devices. And if you're browsing the web with 10 year old software, you have much bigger problems including but not limited to committing security-suicide.
