Understanding HTTPS

Why do I need HTTPS?

When we browse the site, most of the site's URLs are HTTP, HTTP protocol we are familiar with, the information transmitted through the plaintext;

The use of HTTP protocol has its advantages, it and the server transfer data between faster and more accurate;

But HTTP is obviously unsafe, and we can also notice that when we use email or pay online, we use HTTPS;

HTTPS transmits data by using a certificate and encrypting the transmitted information, which is more secure relative to HTTP.
