Browsers have started flagging all websites that do not force SSL for all connections. Your data is sent back and forth in clear text.

Pelican will work either way. However you'll see that unlike 2 years ago where most sites only used SSL for data that had to be secure (logins, checkout, etc..) almost all use it full time. THere was a rumor that Google would de-rank sites that used non secure connections.

I changed our site to 100% secure while ago just in case.
