Is your website content getting blocked because of Mixed Content?

What Is Mixed Content?
Mixed content is when a web browser loads both HTTP and HTTPs (SSL-secured) content. In other words, mixed content occurs when HTML is loaded through a secure HTTPS connection, but your other content (videos and images) comes loaded through a non-secure HTTP connection.
What’s The Problem With Mixed Content?
Running an HTTPS site is no longer optional. Many web browsers are already blocking HTTP content found on HTTPS pages. Google Chrome (browser used by over 60% of the web) is continuing this trend with their plan to block mixed content in Chrome 79 starting in December 2019. In January 2020, Chrome 80 will auto-upgrade mixed video and audio to HTTPS. This content will be blocked if it doesn’t load via HTTPS. Finally, in Chrome 81 (scheduled for February 2020), all images will need to load over HTTPS or they will be blocked as well.
If you have a mixed content site, we can install an SSL for you, so that your content does not get blocked by Google.
Please contact us ASAP so we can get this rolling for you, as Google is beginning to block this already in December 2019.
