The issue with insecure content is that the browser tries to load all of your website content via a secure HTTPS connection, whether it’s secure or not. When this happens, some of the content of your site loads securely and some of it insecurely. Insecure (also called ‘mixed’) content usually appears when HTML code on a website loads over HTTPS, while other content (such as images, video content, stylesheets, and scripts) still loads over the insecure HTTP protocol. Below, you will learn what exactly mixed content is, why it occurs, and how to fix these warnings if you encounter them on your site. Some browsers even block the insecure connection and mark the website as not secure so that your visitors will not see the website content.

Browsers may warn your customers that your website is insecure, causing them to close the page due to this security threat. If you recently installed an SSL certificate on your website, you may still run into the issue of receiving the mixed content warning in browsers.

My SSL is installed, why do I get the warning ‘Not secure’ in browsers?
