When you access a site with ‘https’ instead of ‘http’ in the address bar, it primarily means :
You are accessing a secure communication
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is HTTP carried over an encrypted channel created by TLS (Transport Layer Security, the successor of SSL). The browser checks the website’s digital certificate and then encrypts all traffic between the user and the server.
This protects passwords, payment details and other data from eavesdropping and tampering while in transit, and confirms that the user is talking to the genuine site. Browsers show a padlock symbol for such connections. The primary meaning of ‘https’ is therefore secure communication.
The “s” does not signal speed; connection speed depends on bandwidth and the server, and encryption adds a small overhead if anything. “A single date line transfer” is not a recognised networking concept. Smartphone friendliness depends on responsive web design, which is unrelated to the protocol shown in the address bar.
You are accessing a secure communication option is correct.
