Public web pages that are requested over HTTP will not load if you are logged in, and the site has WooCommerce installed with the "Force HTTP when leaving the checkout" checkbox checked in the WooCommerce settings. (WooCommerce>Settings>Checkout>Checkout Options>Force HTTP...)
Unchecking that box allows the site to function normally over HTTPS while logged in, but then the site won't load over HTTP while logged out.
