First, you'll generate a CSR for SSL.
Secondly, you'll get an SSL and place the Files to your server.
At last, add SSL Files Path on the Web Server Configuration Files and then add a redirect http to https rule.
Step 1 – Turn off CDN.
Step 2 – Clear your Website's Cache.
Step 3 – Update all Database and Hardcoded Links to HTTPs.
Step 4 – Update all CDN URLs to HTTPS.
Step 5 – Update Custom JS, Ajax Libraries to HTTPS.
Step 6 – Add 301 Redirects.
Step 7 – Update Origin URL on CDN.
Step 8 – Install SSL Cert on CDN.
I agree with you

To discover why, let’s start with some definitions:
Http (or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is the method by which data is moved around the Web. You can see just how integral http is to the online world by looking at the beginning of any Web address.
On the plus side, http is fast and reliable. On the minus side, it’s as secure as a diamond at a cat burglar’s convention. There are lots of ways to hack your way into data being transferred via http and while that’s not a problem for many online data transfers (e.g. watching a video, viewing a website), it is a problem if you need to protect the data that’s being sent.
Https (or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) is the answer to the data protection issue. Used on sites that feature eCommerce, banking, and even just a login page, https protects data by encrypting it before sending it either way by using an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate.
An SSL certificate contains both public and private encryption keys that are long strings of alphanumeric characters used to encrypt data in a way that’s very hard to crack thus making it ideal for protecting sensitive data.
