How to fix mixed content after enabling SSL

Remove insecure asset references that break padlocks and browser trust.

Mixed content occurs when a secure HTTPS page still loads images, CSS, JavaScript, or fonts from insecure HTTP sources.

Common symptoms

  • The padlock is broken after enabling SSL
  • Stylesheets or images fail only on HTTPS
  • Browser console reports blocked insecure resources

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Identify all insecure asset URLs using browser developer tools or page source inspection.
  2. Update application settings so the primary site URL uses HTTPS.
  3. Search templates, content editors, and database values for hardcoded http:// references.
  4. If a CDN or external asset source is used, confirm it supports HTTPS.
  5. Clear application and CDN caches after correcting URLs.

Additional notes

  • Mixed content can be active or passive; both should be cleaned up for a fully secure presentation.
  • Third-party embeds are a common source of lingering HTTP assets.

When to contact support

Contact support if you cannot identify the source of the insecure references.
