 The current messaging on the HTTPS accordion could be improved to
 illustrate seo and performance benefits.

 Current verbiage;
 An HTTPS connection is needed for many features on the web today, it also
 gains the trust of your visitors by helping to protecting their online
 privacy.

 *Grammar Sidenote:  At minimum "helping to protecting their online
 privacy." should be "helping to protect their online privacy."

 Pulling from some of the points on the related article;
 https://wordpress.org/support/article/why-should-i-use-https/

 I would suggest as a start;
 "An HTTPS connection is a more secure way of browsing the web, with many
 services now having it a requirement. Some benefits of HTTPS is it makes
 your site faster, benefits your search ranking, and gains the trust of
 your visitors by helping to protect their online privacy."
