Why Does My Webserver Have A Higher Load, Now That It Serves Ssl Encrypted Traffic? |

Answer» SSL uses strong cryptographic encryption, which NECESSITATES a lot of number crunching. When you request a WEBPAGE VIA HTTPS, everything (even the images) is encrypted before it is transferred. So increased HTTPS traffic leads to load increases.
