The letters "H T T P" are at the start of web addresses because if informs the server what type of protocol is being requested. The "Hypertext Transfer Protocol" is the basis for data communication on the internet. If you see H T T P S at the beginning, such as Google.com, it means that any information sent over your network to their network is secure. If there is non ( HTTP) it means the traffic can be intercepted which means any information sent over the network isn't encrypted and is plain text making it easy for a hacker to intercept and steal information.
