+1 to letsencrypt for https. certbot can even auto-configure your webserver for you, taking it from http base to https-with-redirect, no terrible advice from shitty exist-for-volume blogs required
superquick tldr:
certbotand the applicable plugin package for your webserver; if you don't know the name use p.d.o (or your distro's own) to find the package namecertbot; there's extra flags you can pass if you want to automate, but ootb it'll ask you questions and start the process for cert + config (iirc - I mostly run it automated and non-interactive)it's probably better for my development as a human being to learn this properly, but it turns out github pages hosting does the letsencrypt process if you check a box in the page settings
