Challenge we solve

How we solve Insecure Assets Loaded

In our experience, insecure assets loaded, also called mixed content, is when a HTTPS page loads sub resources like images, scripts, or stylesheets over plain HTTP. This happens when hardcoded http:// URLs remain in the codebase or database content after a site migrates to HTTPS, since the migration secured the main document but not every embedded reference. Browsers block or flag mixed content, which can break page functionality, trigger security warnings that erode user trust, and signal an incomplete HTTPS migration to search engines.

Browsers block or flag mixed content, which can break page functionality, trigger security warnings that erode user trust, and signal an incomplete HTTPS migration to search engines.

Why this happens (and how we fix it)

In our experience, mixed content shows up after a HTTPS migration when hardcoded http:// URLs remain scattered through the codebase or, just as often, embedded directly in database content, image src attributes in old blog posts saved with the absolute http:// path before the migration. The migration itself typically secures the main document and server config, but it rarely sweeps every reference stored in content fields, since those aren't part of the template code being reviewed. Third party embeds and old analytics snippets are a frequent source too, copy pasted verbatim with the http:// prefix included.

What it costs you while it goes unfixed

In our experience, modern browsers actively block or downgrade mixed content, meaning the insecure image, script, or stylesheet may simply fail to load, breaking page functionality in ways that vary by browser and asset type. Visible browser security warnings tied to mixed content erode a visitor's trust at exactly the moment they're deciding whether to engage further, particularly damaging on forms or checkout pages. It also signals to search engines that your HTTPS migration is incomplete, undermining the ranking and trust benefit switching to HTTPS was supposed to provide.
