I noticed from the Google website - actually Google, not what someone says
they think about Google.
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/10218333?hl=en-GB#not_enough_data
"The Page Experience report provides a summary of the user experience of
visitors to your site. Google evaluates page experience metrics for
individual URLs on your site and will use them as a ranking signal for
a URL in Google Search results" Then under
"Here are the criteria for a URL to rate as good in page experience status
in Google Search::
- *Failed:* The URL is served using HTTP, not HTTPS.
So it seems to me that the argument that a website does not collect
personal information, so does not need HTTPS, is flawed. You can argue the
technical merits of Google's approach, but it does seem to be the case that
the use of HTTPS is a good thing if you want the website to do well in
Google.
