I agree, the forum should suffice as an info for details. Get Simple CMS was never and will never be able to compete with the big glitzy CMS and the people using it are special, independent-minded and somewhat tech-savvy folks I'd assume. But then, why should that be bad? I love it the way it is!
That said
Please, add SSL but allow *optional* connection through http. You can have both, it's no problem. There is no reason to enforce SSL other than to appease Big Tech. The Get Simple website isn't asking for your credit card details. Hiding information behind encryption makes no sense - let's keep the web open & accessible to everybody and use encryption where encryption is really needed!
Not everybody may be aware, but Get Simple CMS has made inroads with a bunch of vintage computing enthusiasts who use the CMS for their projects. That is thanks to the fact that it differs so nicely from modern hellish JavaScript overkill systems by offloading a lot of work onto the server-side (PHP) and allowing for simple interfaces. I'm among these people and I'd be very sorry to see Get Simple CMS losing it's strength by chasing a carrot it can never catch. It's flexibility to cater to many different makes GS CMS shine!
Your other suggestions are spot-on, I think!

- Tear down this old site. Nobody needs it anymore, since old PHP 7 webspace will not come back. And nobody seems to maintain it - these pages are still without SSL encryption.
