Why isn't 4chan using SSL by default?
Images are sometimes not shown due to bandwidth/network limitations. Refreshing the page usually helps.

I mean, it's already implemented and doesn't come with any noticeable performance increase. Even in most non-sensitive webpages SSL is recommended as it not only encrypts but proves that the webpage being visited isn't being altered. Since 4chan often is highly sensitive and https://4chan.org already works I can't see any reason to why it isn't the default. You guys have any idea?

This begs the question as to why https isn't on by default for you.
>>
Should be, are you using 4chan x? If not check the native extension

https seems to be rate limited compared to http though, maybe they only cache http at cloudflare.

HTTPS-everywhere, fag.

Well, it's because I'm not logged in or anything and accessed 4chan by typing 4chan.org in the browser.

Images, gif and webm load slow as shit when you use httpson 4chan.

Get better internet anon, works great for me.

My internet is fine everywhere else on the internet. Only on 4chan https it shits itself and it is a long time known issue about the rate limiting. Perhaps you're internet is so shit you just don't notice the difference.

Well, if all other https sites works then that makes little to no sense; except if 4chan is badly configured somehow.

It does not work with google data saver/compression, no caching.

https should only be used for banking and shit like that.
