So, I find it very strange that codeforces does not use https. Is there a reason for this?
Or, am I the only one seeing this website in http.

I also see CodeForces in http. And I also wonder why it doesn't use https :D.
I think this is a mystery very much, even I can quote " A mystery of codeforces not use https ".
I have three reasons to think that the problem is mystery.
A mystery of codeforces not use https. Sorry for my poor English.
maybe it is performance issue? considering how codeforces lags all the time during contest, having https would probably makes it worse?
maybe make it https when there is no contest in the next 2 hours.
I don't think that make sense. If I am not wrong, the purpose for https is to protect data transfer across the network, so shouldn't it be more important to do it during the contest. Also, people who wants sensitive information can just tap into the network during the contest instead.
That's the point, the site will be so laggy anyway it will be impossible. At least this way is better than never having https.
I think the reason behind this is : Codeforces is still Beta !! :D
More than 7 years of beta. Its time to gear up.
Is there any progress on this issue?
is that an issue?
Indeed it is. Some ISPs may inject ads into HTTP traffic (or add some ad redirections), passwords can be easily intercepted (unless you use OAuth, but it may be not the best option if one uses a shared PC).
