Why does a visitor looking at a product description need to be protected by ssl? all it does is increase load time, the customer isn’t entering any information.
A slight dip in traffic? expect more than a bit and plenty of sleepless nights particularly if you are already ranking well.
Certainly give comfort to buyers when entering information into a form and have ssl protection but I honestly can’t see the point for products and informational pages.
