Most sites are dynamic so you may be able to encrypt the static bits like
JavaScript libraries and HTML templates but the useful content is pulled
from the database and so would be created on the fly. That would mean you
would have to encrypt it on the fly as well and at that point, aren't you
just as well using HTTPS?
