I wonder why the http/https discussion is still relevant. Almost all sites use 
https now, http is getting slowly banned and a lot of companies just don't want 
to allow incoming http traffic towards a server. Certifcates cost nothing 
anymore (you have free ones), so that's no longer an issue too. And the cpu 
issue might've been relevant years ago, but it shouldn't be now (offloading 
https to a high-performant frontend server can help if you really have issues).
Just my 2 cents here ...
