Quick Reference
Element Code: SE-011
Issue: Secure pages link to insecure HTTP pages on same site
Impact: Users leave secure context, potential for interception
Fix: Update internal links to use HTTPS
Detection: Screaming Frog, link audits
What Is This Issue?
Linking from HTTPS to HTTP pages on your own site sends users to an insecure connection. This negates the security benefits of HTTPS for those pages.
Why This Matters for Your Website
Users expect your site to be consistently secure. Moving them to HTTP exposes them to potential interception.
How to Fix This Issue
- Update links: All internal links should use HTTPS
- Check redirects: Ensure HTTP redirects to HTTPS
- Fix site-wide: Update base URLs in CMS
Tools for Detection
- Screaming Frog: Finds HTTP internal links
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Your HTTPS pages link to HTTP pages. Update all internal links to use HTTPS consistently.
