We are now serving up a secure site using HTTPS/SSL! Many thanks to the team at Let's Encrypt for providing a free verified SSL certificate. Most of the SSL certificate authorities out there wanted $100 per year or more, which is why it took me so long to get around to implementing it here.
I tried generating the certificate using Certbot first, but Certbot didn't seem to play well with Slackware. So I used Neilpang's acme.sh to generate the certificate instead, which worked perfectly on the first try. A few tweaks to httpd.conf were made, and we're now serving up secure content!
