I live in a rural area in North America, a stones throw away from a municipality of 160,000 people, and our internet is marginal. The constant push for https everywhere is making the web almost unusable for us. Https is being used to deliver fonts, javascript libraries, and images also over https from multiple domains all requiring multiple ssl negotiations. Usually one of these fonts/js/images times out, and as a result the entire page doesn't load.
