Frequently Asked Question

When it comes down to the experience a person encounters when visiting your website, images play a very important role. They help better draw in the attention of your site’s visitors, create a consistent and professional look throughout your website, and provide a better overall look and feel to your site as a whole. In order to maintain this, you have to make sure all the appropriate settings are in place so you can display this content securely.

Below are a few steps to take if you run across any issues after applying an SSL Certificate to your site and receiving a “mixed content” error from your browser:

Take A Look At Your Code:

• Open your website.
  

• Open the source code for whatever page has a broken image usually by right clicking on the page and clicking “view page source”.
  

• Hit Ctrl + F to conduct a search through the code.
  

• Paste “src=http” into the search box.
  

• You should find that the broken image links on this page have an HTTP element instead of an HTTPS.
  
• You will then find the file that contains the link within your website and update the HTTP elements to HTTPS.
• Save your changes and make sure your website now reflects the edits made.

You’ve spent a lot of time creating your website, getting the SSL Certificate in place, and keeping your content up-to-date. Your visitors deserve a safe and entertaining experience, so make sure you’re able to offer them that by monitoring, managing, and maintaining your website regularly.
