modecarsmag.com "Not secure"

[ColonelKrypton]

In replying to another thread I had noted that the web site to which I had posted indicated that it was "Not secure" i.e. NOT HTTPS even though it was the website of good legitimate US company, in this case it was https://www.westsystem.com/product-categories/filler/  BUT curiously now it does appear to be "secure" i.e. HTTPS.

That aside, just now my web browser ( Chrome ) is indicating that modelcarsmag.com is "Not secure" i.e NOT HTTPS. 

Is this normal for modelcarsmag.com?  Is there some issue with some SSL certificate server that is intermittently effecting some web sites?

Just one of those curious things you notice when you actually pay attention

cheers, Graham

The website is available both as standard http and secure https.  I'm currently using http, but if I  change the address to https, it still works.

To be honest, I really don't see the point of encrypted (secure) access to sites like this, where no really private or financial info is being passed between the website and your browser.  Seems that everybody now demands https, even to wipe you behind (if you catch my drift).
