After installing an SSL certificate, your site may display errors such as “mixed content” warnings. This typically occurs when some resources (like images, scripts, or stylesheets) are still being loaded via HTTP instead of HTTPS.
To resolve the issue:
-
Update all resource URLs to use HTTPS – Manually check your website’s code or database for links starting with
http://and change them tohttps://. -
Use a plugin (for WordPress users) – Tools like Really Simple SSL can automatically detect and fix mixed content issues.
-
Redirect HTTP to HTTPS – Ensure your
.htaccessfile (or server configuration) includes a rule to redirect all traffic to the secure version of your site. -
Clear browser and server cache – After making changes, clear your browser cache and any server-side caching to view the updated content.
These steps help ensure that your website is fully secure and that visitors won’t encounter security warnings.
