Mixed Content SSL Issues

Mixed content errors happen when your site loads some resources (images, scripts, links) over http instead of https. This blocks the padlock and secure SSL.

The issue is in your website code, not the certificate.

Step 1: Find the insecure links

• Test your site at: https://www.whynopadlock.com/
• Or open browser developer tools:
  • Chrome/Edge: F12
  • Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + I (Win) / Cmd + Opt + I (Mac)
  • Safari: Cmd + Opt + I

Look in the Console tab for mixed content warnings — they’ll show the exact http URLs.

Step 2: Fix them

• If using WordPress, install the free plugin Really Simple SSL, it automatically fixes most mixed content.
• Otherwise, update all http links in your site code, database, or theme to https (or relative // links).

Once fixed, the padlock should appear.
