Question

I have an https site and google displays the lock with the yellow triangle on top meaning:

The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected insecure content on
the page. Be careful if you’re entering sensitive information on this
page. Insecure content can provide a loophole for someone to change
the look of the page.

I want to change my site so it is completely secure and I get the green lock. However when I try to access my page through https like so https://www.domain.com rather than http://www.domain.com, most things don’t work. Chrome’s inspector says stuff like:

The page at https://www.domain.com/Folder/ displayed insecure content
from http://website.com/media/images/photo.jpg.

Is that just because the page I’m getting my photos from is http? What are the steps I should take to start converting my entire site to https (in terms of changing code)?

Answer 1

Remove (or replace with https://) any links, images, etc from your site that link to pages via http://.

The warning is created because you are asking the browser to connect to (= load data from) a website that is not secured with SSL (https).

If you want to serve data that is not available via https from your site, your server will need to download and serve them via https.
