Many were hesitant to sacrifice site speed for the added layer of security if they felt like they didn’t need it. In a vacuum, an SSL certificate does add some additional latency, as it requires 2 extra round trips to establish a secure connection before sending any data to the browser. So what’s the truth? Is SSL slow?
