Fixing Mixed Content Warnings on an HTTPS Site

A mixed content warning appears when an HTTPS page loads some resources — images, scripts, stylesheets — over unencrypted HTTP instead.

Why It Happens

This is common after migrating from HTTP to HTTPS, when old hardcoded HTTP links to images or scripts remain in your page's code or database.

Finding the Offending Links

Your browser's developer console flags exactly which resources are loading insecurely, giving you a precise list to fix rather than guessing.

The Fix

Update hardcoded HTTP URLs to HTTPS, or better, use protocol-relative or fully relative URLs so the issue can't recur. For WordPress sites, a search-and-replace plugin can update database-stored links in bulk.
