My personal blog has been exclusively on HTTPS for quite some time now. - Link: https://www.bionicspirit.com/ https://www.bionicspirit.com/ - SSL Rating: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=bionicspirit.com https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=bionicspirit.... - Server is in Europe, here's a load test from New York: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/200PE/https://www.bionicspirit.com/ http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/200PE/https://www.bionicspirit.... On nr. (1) it is not that big of a deal and for your own content SPDY can make a difference. Satellite connections are indeed problematic for HTTPS. BTW - I have insisted on having my personal blog on HTTPS because I noticed that some public networks in hotels and public places are injecting content into websites. And so for me HTTPS is a way of signing my content.
