Importance: Medium
Error «HTTPS → HTTP Hyperlinks» Description
Shows pages with HTTPS protocol that has internal hyperlinks to the HTTP addresses.
The Importance of the Problem
If a secure page with HTTPS protocol has hyperlinks to pages or other documents with HTTP protocol, it will lower the site's credibility.
In case of an HTTPS → HTTP redirect, it increases the link transition time. If there is no redirect, users land on an insecure page, therefore may consider the site low-quality and leave it. Search engines may also consider the website insecure and lower its rankings in search. As a result, the site may lose search traffic.
How to Fix Error
Replace or delete all outgoing hyperlinks to pages with HTTP protocol. To view hyperlinks to such pages, press the 'Issue report' button over the main table.
