Description

Not all users know that encrypted connection is required by all browsers for HTTP/2 usage.

The plugin currently allows non-https sites to enable the CSS/JS HTTP/2 Push optimization feature, even if it's useless in their case,, and won't actually work for users.

The fact that SSL is needed should be mentioned next to these options on the Optimize tab, and it shouldn't be possible to enable it on an http:// site, or at least show a warning.

Research direction

Start in the WordPress plugin's Optimize tab and locate the CSS/JS HTTP/2 Push options. Check how the plugin detects the site's HTTP or HTTPS scheme, then make the SSL requirement visible and prevent enabling the options or show a warning for HTTP sites; verify both schemes in the relevant settings UI.
