Is there anything on the site that needs to be secured with TLS? There's no authentication, no user details, why would it need to be secured?

Someone in the middle could teach you a variant of the material in hopes of creating more insecure servers out there. Or perhaps link to an "official companion app|pdf|exe" on the page.

Or more likely: insert a cryptocoin miner script or ads.

So that your ISP, or someone else along the way, doesn't put a cryptocurrency miner into the page source.
