Today I received a message from fastvps that they sell SSL certificates at a discounted price. I read about him, I didn’t understand a little - why he is on my site of questions and answers.
also in the letter there was a mention that the presence of an SSL certificate can positively affect search results, you can find out more about the official position of Google here https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/08/https-as...
What do you think? Is it so? Do you need an SSL certificate for a site like toaster ru and the like?

It is necessary, but it is completely optional to buy it - with this you will only replenish the already empty wallet of the hoster / registrar / etc.

The first and main question is why SSL?
If there is registration / authorization or purchases / billing - for security.
In modern realities of the HTTP / 2 protocol - for the speed of the site.
Conclusion: necessary, but not critical.
