Mixed content (insecure resources on an HTTPS page)

Mixed content is when an HTTPS page loads a sub-resource (image, script, stylesheet) over plain HTTP instead of HTTPS. Browsers flag this, sometimes blocking the insecure resource outright, because it undermines the security guarantee of the padlock icon.

Why it matters

Beyond the direct security risk, mixed content can trigger browser warnings that damage user trust, and blocked resources can break page functionality or appearance entirely — both signals that correlate with worse search performance.

How to fix it

Change every hardcoded http:// resource reference to https:// (or a protocol-relative/relative URL).
Check third-party embeds and widgets — they're a common source of accidental http:// resources.
Use your browser's dev tools console to find exactly which resources are flagged, page by page.
