Is, “Not Secure” in the web address a concern; or, no worries?

It means that there is no certificate and encrypted connection. That means that someone sniffing packets could potentially see a password passing by, but this is not a highly common attack for a site like this.

Could be fixed by the purchase of a certificate and turning on the requirement to use the encrypted https connection instead of the http unencrypted one.

After checking it out - you can access the pages here with https://fanlax.com/... - so there is a certificate. Just not the requirement that the site use the encrypted connection...
