| 2015 || {{dts|January 18}} || Report/Observatory || HTTPSWatch || State of HTTPS adoption || The oldest Internet Archive snapshot of HTTPSWatch appears to be on this date. The snapshot says that it is inspired by Alex Gaynor's blog posts that were published in November and December 2014, so it is likely to be pretty close to the actual start date.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150118231201/https://httpswatch.com/#about|title = HTTPSWatch (About section)|accessdate = January 18, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://alexgaynor.net/2014/nov/12/state-of-news-tls/|title = The State of the News and TLS|last = Gaynor|first = Alex|date = November 12, 2015|accessdate = November 20, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://alexgaynor.net/2014/dec/30/state-of-news-tls-part-ii/|title = The State of the News and TLS: Part II|last = Gaynor|first = Alex|date = December 30, 2014|accessdate = November 20, 2017}}</ref>
