Why are the Https websites seems to load so slowly?

The Https websites seems to load cells slowly compared to the http websites. I have realized that because l visit many websites.
In general, HTTP is faster than HTTPS due to its simplicity. In HTTPS, we have an additional step of SSL handshake unlike in HTTP. This additional step slightly delays the page load speed of the website. But this difference is in milliseconds; if the site has become slower to load, then most likely the problem is not HTTPS for that reason.

I have not experienced it. I don't have a problem opening any of them. It might be your Internet slow at that time.

Most browsers does no longer support anymore HTTP. Like for example you are talking about MP3 player or DVD saving on 2024. It is going to be deprecated more and more until full browser support removal. Not the reverse. A HTTPS becomes a must have for any webmaster site owner these days.

After upgrading my internet connection, I hardly notice any issues. Make sure that your browser is up-to-date and your server is properly configured to handle SSL connections.

The browser auto update himself and notify some apps for example works with opera and doesn't work with brave or reverse this is better practice for having multiple browsers.

The Https websites seems to load so slowly because high traffic or network congestion can slow down Https sites more than Http.

The slow speed due to secured socket layer is not even recognizable by common people. Slow loading can be caused by a lot of factors.
