How do you know it hasn’t got an SSL/TLS certificate by just looking at the link? Or is there other means used to verify this?
If it use has not gotten the SSL/TLS certificate, the site will be http
If it has gotten the SSL/TLS certificate, the site will be https. There is 's' in front of http in the site URL.

How such a small and minor detail could make all the difference, never knew that and thanks to you I do now. Verified on it and it was as you said with more info.

HTTPS: Hyper Text Protocol Secure

HTTPS appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate. Users can view the details of the certificate, including the issuing authority and the corporate name of the website owner, by clicking the lock symbol on the browser bar.
Wouldn’t have thought this important if you haven’t mentioned and I sure would be looking out for these on every link before I access them as another layer of my web surfing security.
 Haven’t got smerit else, could have awarded you the little I could.
