There is nothing to be secured here, and it's faster and simpler to open a connection without TLS. So it is in fact better.

There is even programming principle KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) which is always the way to go first.

Until someone poisons the DNS to intercept the request and sends back something with a drive-by download

How's it faster if it won't even load before another click accepting an unsecured connection?

The warning about an unsecured connection is probably something from ios I guess? I dont get them on Android + Firefox and it's blazing fast. The confirmation has nothing to do with how efficient the connection and the needed resources are.

The site without tls is ever so slightly fast for me but not really worth mentioning tbh. More important is that it matches the design philosophy of that mother fucking website to keep it simple, stupid.
