Dear Patrick:
I am convinced that the Internet must be "clear and transparent. "
I think of the thousands who daily enter first Internet
Messages must be simple and without technical words that interrupt the 
communication between the person who issued the idea and the recipient.
The blank page does not tell anything to the users, I did not choose 
this idea.
The page in "red" (invalid SSL certificate), they manage to scare users 
and makes them leave the site without enterarce of what happens.
This is also not properly informed to the user.
I think this can be solved by the simple choice of words in a short 
paragraph with clear backgrounds so as not to scare users and can be 
understood by a 7 year old who can already read.
Regards
