What does it mean when I have both secure and non-secure (mixed) content?
✍: Guest
Secure and non-secure content, or mixed content, means that a webpage is trying to display elements using both
secure (HTTPS/SSL) and non-secure (HTTP) web server connections. This often happens with online stores or
financial sites that display images, banners, or scripts that are coming from a server that is not secured.
The risk of displaying mixed content is that a non-secure webpage or script might be able to access information
from the secure content.
Note
Internet Explorer uses an encrypted protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to access secure webpages.
These pages use the prefix HTTPS, while regular webpages use HTTP.
